Tips for getting into medicine for year 11 student

I have just started year 11 and am hoping to do a degree in medicine hopefully at a good university

My end of year 10 results were:
-Maths - 8
-Biology - 7
-Chemistry - 8
-Physics - 8
-Computer science - 7
-Geography - 7
-Business - A*
-French - 6
-English language - 5
-English literature- 5

I have also been offered the opportunity to do additional maths as an extra GCSE, but would have to self learn it.

Outside of school I also do Tae kow-do, robotics club and am learning the guitar.

What tips do you have which would help for a med school application?
Just work hard to get the best grades you can do, and if you can look into voluntary programs for you to partake on after GCSEs. Some hospitals offer some, and there's summer schools you can enroll on. Doesn't matter where you do it.

As long as you get plentiful Bs and As or higher you won't have a problem getting into medicine.
