Contact the colleges themselves for actual data.

Try and make a freedom of information request if they wont cough up the information.

I expect the numbers making it into medicine will be low, but I don know. I would choose A levels if I could fund it.

I’m about to sit my alevels in June/July history, media and psychology and I’m already 19 and taking an alevel intensive is unlikely for me as I got Cs in triple science

Medicine access courses have a very limited success in gaining a place. You are likely to need perfect scores i,e to be getting the highest grade from the beginning and all way through. They may be tied to a local uni, but it is right you should make enquiries about how many students actually get a place on medicine.

If you only got C in triple science, then you should think carefully as to whether you are up to it.
You would need Grade A or equivalent at A level and they are much harder.

Yeah, I need to make further enquires I feel if I put my all in I could really be successful in the course. The main reason I didn’t achieve As in GCSE science is because I was really lazy and didn’t start putting in even a little work til the week/day before. Hopefully I should be able to get at least AAB in my Alevels.
