What to do with low AS grade and wanting to apply for Medicine

X

To be honest from what I've heard from my friend who's applying for medicine, the competition is so tough I don't think you could make a competitive application with BED. If I was you I would resit the year and aim to get AAA, maybe take up another AS and then apply after resitting

Hi Firstly..don't loose hope! I got my AS results back yesterday and was in a state for a good 5 hours before I saw sense. I got BBCC and was devastated. Then I realised, hey, I didn't revise for English and I'm 6 UMS off a B - i'll boost that, drop my other C and boost one of my B's to an A by working my ass off next year to get ABB.

You can do the same! If you keep that B and work hard to boost Biology to a B. And then retake chem next year? Or, you could try and raise the B to an A, the D to a B and the E to a C = BBB.
This all depends where you were within the boundary, of course in how easy this will be to do. Alternatively you could always resit the year? Are you 100% certain that medicine is for you?

Wow congrats, you should be proud!!! Thanks alot yeah Im gonna get some of my tests remarked as for Biology I was 2 UMS off a B in one of the exams, and for Chemistry I was 1 UMS away from a D in the Unit 2 Paper also 3 UMS away from a D in the Unit 1, if my marks change (hoepfully) they will raise my over all grades to a C for Biology, and a D for chemistry I think! Yeah some entry requirements are BBB and BBC which I think if I just push myself and work hard 24/7 I may be able to achieve it, especially considering that there isn't anything I want to do but MEDICINE lol

Before you start planning to resit all of these exams remember you don't have any january modules anymore! This means you'll be sitting all of your year 13 exams in June ON TOP of most of your year 12 ones, this could end up being like 10 huge exams in 1 sitting? You say you don't want to resit the year but it may be a much better option for you than trying to do this and flopping all your A-levels rather than starting fresh and making a smart application to universities that allow resitters.

Depends how much you want it! End of as i got CC in maths/bio end of A2 I got AA with almost an A* in maths whilst also pushing up my other 2 a level subjects! Good luck

ok so results day didn't really go the way I hoped it would. I got AADD with nearly full marks in both biology and history, 3 ums of a D in maths and a solid D in chemistry, which was a big shock tbh because I thought both subjects had gone very well. is there no chance at all that I can apply to uni this year? I really really really want to do medicine and ive got 6A* 5A's at gcse and a TON of work experience but with those grades can i realistically apply this cycle or do i have to cancel my ukcat and take a gap year any help would be greatly appreciated guys

Hi all,
I got a B in Psychology E in Chemistry and D in Biology for AS not the grades I expected at all just wanted some advice on what I should do about applying for Medicine, I've been considering Extended Medicine programs as some University entry requirements are BBB and sometimes BBC
Any advice??
