Resitting A levels

I’m planning on resitting my A levels as I missed my offer for Med school (AAA)
I got: BBC Biology-B Chemistry-B and Maths- C.
I received offers for Biochemistry and Biomedical sciences but I want to do Medicine. And I understand grad Medicine is much more competitive so this is another chance to apply.
Any advices?

Some med schools accept resits.
They may consider the reason for the resits.
It would help if your predicteds were on target.

On certain courses (Biomed being typical) you could transfer into medicine after year 1 results if they had picked up and some unis will stress this although you need to realise its a gamble based on performance and theres no guarantee.

Grad med is more difficult/ competitive.


If I felt I underperformed, then I would resit and study really hard to get the grades needed. You cna try the other routes, but there are no guarantees.
