Hi everyone, my name is Selsabil Dhaouadi and I've just fished high school so I'm ready for university!
First of all, I want to apologize if I'll do mistakes in grammar or something else!
My big dream, for too many reasons, is to do medicine at university in England, but unfortunately I live in Italy, and here one of the things that doesn't work is education.
I'll explain it better, when we are at high school and we need the final grade, is extremely hard to get a high grade, like 90/100 and so on, in fact just one in a school get it, and too many times he/she gets it not thank's to their work (special measures, if you understand...); so people like me that works hard for 5 years with no special families get lower grades.
But I still want to do medicine and I really want to get over it.
So I've filled and sent an application form to 5 universities in Englad through UCAS; 3 of medicine (this is the maximum of med school applications that you can have) and 2 (like and insurance) of Biomedical science.
The med schools needs 90/100 at least and biomedical faculty wants 70 (London met) and 85 (Brunel University); I had a lot of problems in my family (my dad now is paralyzed) and with my health (I get badly sick, but I'm recovering now) during the last three years of my life.
But I still want medicine so badly, maybe more than ever.
So in the Esame di Stato I get 78/100.
The only university that will accept me now is the London Metropolitan for Biomedical science, and happy for that even if that's not what I wanted; but I'm still trying to figure out if there is chance to get into a medical school, even if they ask for 90, what can I do?
I'm not familiar with the british educational system, so my question is: Can I do an year of Biomed and then change to med school? Will they look for the 90 even if I do all the exams with good grades in the first year of university? Is there a solution for this mess? And if yes which uni do you recommend for med school?
Thank's
