Hi guys,
Basically, I have very low A-Level Grades (ABC in History, Biology and Chemistry) and I have a low ukcat score of 570 average. I'm in year 1 of another degree, I completed the foundation year last year and want to do medicine. I will also be taking the bmat in november and i have taken a gap year before coming to uni. Is there any chance of applying to med and if there is, what universities should i apply to. Also, in my foundation year I got 80% in bio but failed to get 70% in chem.
I did ok in gcse's- 1A*, 5A's and 4B's
what should I do? Is there a point in applying again this year?

Are you talking about grad entry or dropping out now and applying without a degree? If you drop out now you will need to bring up your score and do well in your BMAT but your A levels and foundation year scores will let you down. You may be better off doing grad entry medicine if you still want to.

No im talking about reapplying now in my first year with my foundation year grades, i got above 70% in all modules apart from chemistry. I've been told that Brighton uni and lancaster accept the foundation degree I did last year.

Besides that, people who get into medicine from foundation year generally are creme de la creme and have outstanding application in other areas too.
You are at a big disadvantage with your poor A levels and low UKCAT. Unless you have 5 years worth of work experience and amazing PS I would suggest you focus on your current degree, get a 1st or 2:1 and apply for graduate medicine.
