GCSE results for medicine at UCL

So I got my gcse results, and I achieved 6a*s and 5a's, with the hope that one of my a's will get moved up to an a* as I was off by three marks. I would like to apply to UCL to study medicine, and I was wondering if these gcse marks are good enough? I know that they also look at a levels and the Bmat, but I just wanted to know if these grades would be counted as good for this uni?
Thanks

They're great grades - should be fine for UCL. :smile:

Just to make sure though...did you have a foreign language at GCSE? Because you need a foreign language at GCSE for Medicine at UCL. :smile:

No, sorry, you need at least 12 A*'s for UCL Medicine and one of them has to be in Russian.....



It took me about 27 seconds to find the GCSE req's for UCL Medical School, of course your GCSEs are fine!! Google is your friend, don't post silly questions unless you want silly replies. Do your research first :smile:
Not meant as a dig, just preparing you for TSR haha.

Congrats on the GCSEs btw!

However, I was just unsure as different people say different things on google. I was hoping for someone from UCl studying medicine to have given me a more reliable answer. And also, I did do research, I have spent the last day researching if my grades are good enough!
