Just Got Your GCSE Results? Look Here First!

grad medicine is hard.

i wont be surprised if they gave you unconditional due to A level grades.

All im saying is you could have retaken english and got in.

YES YOU COULD HAVE GOT IN

Your gcses would have been like- the underdog... i got C's but i cracked A level, given you a chance...

work really really really hard. , still look back at my GCSE's and regreat 2 wasted years of my life.

When do you take the UKCAT? Between year 12 and 13?

erm- dont be?

i would hate to go to uni from home

At the end of year 12; as many apply in October (of the A2 year) so must be done before.

Testing starts around the end of the AS year, July 7th I think, and runs till September/October of that year.

For Unis like -UCL, ICL, Oxford and Cambridge, you sit a different admissions test called BMAT. Testing for this takes place in the first week of November in your A2 year.

Thank you for being very nice on a very horrible day.

Chin up, your GCSEs are absolutely fine, imo.

my bro nailed his gcses im just feeking nostalgic

What is an awesome BMAT score, something like 23?

Yep. Don't underestimate the BMAT though. Or the UKCAT for that matter.

I was expecting a bit better, but I'm just pushing past it and hoping to do MUCHOS better next year, thanks again, I think I'm just a bit down because I desperately wanted to stay in London, and Medicine being such a competitive course I sort of knew when I got my grades it would be hard to get a place unless I did a sort of "100 UMS in all modules" next year

I got 6 A*s and 5 As which I am really happy with , but is it worth me applying for Birmingham who want 7 A*? Do I have a chance?

London is not the only place available to do Medicine; and sometimes things just don't always go your way but you have to stay positive and brush it off. Also remember next year is going to be much harder than any GCSE, and even though there may be people around you that have done better at GCSE, it doesn't necessarily reflect how well they'll do next year. Work hard next year and concentrate on getting the more important a level grades as they are as I said more important and if you don't get them, then there's a problem.

yayyyyy
i gottt
7A*'s and 4 A's (damn that 1% in physics *>.>)
