Hi, medical schools use GCSE's differently so I would look at this here 'http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/content.php?r=15897-medical-school-gcse-requirements' and see. Some uni's (southhampton, birmingham, oxbridge, cardiff, QUB...) use GCSE's quite heavily and some don't care. Like newcastle, if you meet the minimum requiremnets, invite people to interview based entirely on UKCAT results. :smile:

Those results are pretty low by medicine standards - applying cleverly is a must.

Done the UKCAT yet?

This. Plus if those C grades are in maths and on English language, it makes applying more problematic

You could redo them, because thats what I am personally considering because lots of candidates applying will have A/A* in GCSE'S.
Also you could also do IGCSE'S
