I’m in year 12 and I’ve pulled myself together and achieved higher grades.
After one of my exams, I approached my teacher to talk about my grades and do Better in my exams, this ended up me talking about how about I wanted to do medicine.
He told me can I be honest with you. I said yes, he said “ you’re not gonna become a doctor”
My heart fell into my stomach. My smile slipped off my face. I was shell shocked.
He said I didn’t have straight A’s so there’s no chance of medical school taking me because there’s so many applicants and I don’t even h ace the GCSE’s.
So I asked even with me getting A*A*A and a foreign language that I will get an A in, a EPQ, exprience in hospital, resitting my 2of my gcse to achieve A (eng Lang and maths) so overall GCSE would be A* 3A and 6B 1C,
High UKCAT & BMAT score.
He said I still have no chance because they don’t accept resits etc.
I researched after being heartbroken and it seems Cambridge aren’t that bothered so are some unis so please someone clarify this for me. I’m confused.. and lost and extremely upset.
