I think being able to spell 'Medicine' is a requirement, and you certainly haven't met that when you butchered the spelling twice.

You would definitely need A's in English, Maths and Science at GCSE if you wish to study Medicine - it's extemely competitive.

You probably still can but you need good A2 grades UKCAT or BMAT. I think the minimum GCSE requirements are 5A's including English Maths and Science.

For GCSEs it depends what uni they are looking at, I think (dont quote me) but somewhere like St Georges want 5 As at least including english, maths and science. However Barts & London want AAABBB in the core subjects and in any order.

Imperial and Newcastle/Durham are the only places I can think of, but if you have dyslexia, I assume the BMAT and UKCAT are going to be difficult.

Your English Language grade is going to heavily disadvantage you, along with the lack of GCSEs taken. The fact that you're probably going to have to bring up you were expelled from school is going to work against you too.

Do you think it would be worth doing a gap year and study 5 more gcses in that gap year? or do an additional year at collage studying 5 gcses?

There's only three universities that I can think of that don't require A level chemistry (Peninsula, UEA and Newcastle) but I'm not sure if you would meet their GCSE requirements. I've heard of a few people studying medicine in Europe, e.g. Sofia, Bulgaria. You could look into it if that interests you?

i would recommend checking uni requirements, however the issue is that a lot of them demand chem, so definitely have a look. i'll link in the tsr medicine forum for ya
http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki...y_Requirements
dont forget, despite your gcses, unis use other factors to decide whether or not to accept an applicant

For most (almost all) medicine courses you need Chemistry to A2. Consider biomedical sciences and/or a less GCSE-heavy course.
