My GCSEs are atrocious.
I got 2 distinctions (equivalent to 2A*s) 3As 6Bs. I initially got a C in English lang but re-sat to get a the B grade.
My A-levels are atrocious.
Chemistry - B (I resat Chemistry, it was a C initially), English - B, Biology - C
The 1 mark away from an A in English has affected by future, me getting just BBC instead of ABC hinders me for applying to about 4 medical schools..sucks.
AS Applied ICT - B (My module results were AAD, I resat that exam numerous times and still couldn't get it to an C to get an A).
I will hopefully attain a First form Royal Holloway reading biochemistry (I will transfer from Essex), continue to do more impressive w/e and work bloody hard for the UKCAT, I need to aim for 650 min.
These are the medical schools that I'd be applicable for if I were applying in 2012 (if I remove Imperial and Kings): Southampton, Newcastle, Warwick, Queen Mary, Durham(5 yr), Brighton and Sussex (5yr). I'm sure these universities will increase their requirements thus limiting my choices come 2014.
I've been rejected twice already from medicine, and graduate medicine is 10 times harder. It really sucks to be me..I'm really unlucky.
I'm probably just not academically bright or good with exams. I don't feel I'm a worthy candidate for medicine.
Should I go for an alternative?
