Finally decided I want to go into medicine. However, I've done the wrong A-Levels and don't want to resit and the majority of universities, from what I've seen, don't want under-grad applications from people who have effectively re-done A Levels.
I've been in a primary position of care for a few years now, so this will help my education and have paid employment and volunteer work set up.
The pre-clinical courses won't accept me because of GCSEs and have actually no science a levels at all. My predictions for final a level grades are A*AA in all humanities subjects.
But, my question is should I do an access course? Is it worth it and are the chances of getting into medical school any good with one of these?
OR
Should I take an English lit. degree (my A* at a level) and enter as a graduate, I'm not concerned about fees. But, the issues I have with this is if it matters if the degree comes from a prestigious university or not? Would I be overlooked for doing a degree with the OU or somewhere that isn't Russell Group like Essex for instance?
I'll be on gap year after A2.
Thanks.
