Do you think I have a chance to get into Medicine with a C in English Language ( I was born in Italy from a SriLankan descent and my first language is Italian)
C is still a pass. In medicine concerning GCSEs (from what I've seen as a GCSE student), the subjects of most concern are chemistry, maths, biology/physics. You dont need A*s in English to get into medicine for most unis as it's not a requirement, so I wouldn't stress too much especially since English is not your native language.

Also, there are a few univeristies that don't even look at your GCSE grades, like even Cambridge Univeristy, one of the most prestigious uni in the world, are actually only taking in applicants based on A level results from 2017. So yh, you're good

So basically no Medical Unis for me. I want to stay in London. I worked hard for no reason.
Except all the unis that are happy with the C. And the fact that its out of date...
Strong location preferences really aren't compatible with medicine. Even if you could afford to be picky about which medical schools you apply to (and most can't) and you got into London, you would still have lots of placements outside London, and then doctors jobs involve a lot of moving around. There's absolutely no guarantee you would get allocated a job within 100 miles of London. That's the reality - your grades haven't changed anything.
Edit: and of course you know you are being over-dramatic regardless. Obviously having good grades sets up opportunities for you in many fields, not just medicine.
It's also possible for you to resit your English to improve your grade and meet more unis' minimum requirements. It'll take you a few hours to check what's needed and whether they'll take resits but that's not a lot in the grand scheme of things.

u can do the uni in Birmingham which maybe might be a bit more lenient its up to ut l'd suggest either finding a uni in London or look further out abit
In the end it's really up to work experience and awards (like duke of edinburgh for instance) so as long as your A levels are really good and you impress them with your cv otherwise I'm pretty sure you have a chance. Unis are now really looking for volunteering on cvs and that sort of thing too - something that makes you stand out. Lots of applicants have very good gcses and A levels - top universities want more. Also, it is true about Cambridge - they say on their website that they think it is unfair to judge people only on gcses. i don't really think they would discriminate on your English, especially as your other grades are so good.
Some unis allow one resist. Do some research and see if they'll allow you to resist English language. Getting a B or an A will really help you. You still meet the entry requirements for some unis though so make sure you do good on the ukcat.

Actually they do, my friend got comments on her GCSE grades on her feedback letter from Cambridge

End of the day, itβs your a levels and experience that count. Most places just require a C at GCSE for English and maths so donβt stress about it too much - your other grades prove that youβre a good student and it looks like you just didnβt get on with English as a subject (same as me)
