I have been rejected from all 4 med schools. I am an international student. Anyone else in the same boat as me and if so, what do you plan to do?

May I ask where u applied and what were your stats?

Try again next year.

You could look at some medical schools in new zealand or australia alongside the british ones.

Some private unis are still accepting applications for medicine. I've heard of people applying to Irish medical schools after 4 rejections, I've also heard ot people getting offers from Barts Malta after the release of A-level results in August.

Alternatively you could look into medical school in Australia, their application cycle for 2018/19 entry hasn't started yet.

Two of my unis said they only accept international students with achieved a levels so I might have to take gap year. Are you an international student?

Which two unis only accept international students with achieved A-Levels? I haven't heard of that.
I'm an international student applying for medicine too, I get how frustrating it is :smile:

Hang on there!

irish med school applications are closed now, but they are a great alternative when you have great stats, since they just use a points system and no personal statement.
