a 6 in biology but medicine

if I work hard at a level and try to get good predictions especially biology, could it make the 6 look less important as they’ll consider the fact that my prediction is much better? Thank you so much

so I got my results and received 3A*,5A and 2Bs with the Bs in French and biology. After getting results, I’ve began considering medicine but I’ve been upset about my biology.. I got into sixth form to do chem, bio and history but I’m worried that my biology gcse will hold me back from getting accepted. could anyone please give advice about my biology and if medicine can still be an option? btw I did get an A* in chemistry

Where are you thinking of applying to?

either Manchester university or Birmingham, it may change depending on whether they’ll take me in or not.

Yes with good A level grades that can make the 6 in biology hardly matter and getting good work experience is helpful too.

I’m hoping to apply to a local hospital so thank you for letting me know I appreciate it

No worries! That 6 in biology is nothing to worry about it, even when applying to the most competitive of universities!

I got 3A*, 4As and 2Bs. In my sciences I got:
- bio 6
- chem 8
- phys 7

most unis wanted a 6 for the sciences but double check!

If you're close to a 7 you could try a remark?

I’m 8 marks off a 7 and tbh I still can’t bekieve I did that bad, I feel like there could be a mistake but idek. Manchester needs 2 6s at minimum so thank you

8 Mark's off isnt bad for a remark. My friend remarked maths for which she was 10 Mark's of a 9 and she got it!

But if you decide not to it's fine also because most medical schools require Bs but once again double check this now for the medical schools you would like to apply for so this doesnt become a hindrance in the future !

thank you so much! I’m thinking of getting it remarked if my paper 2 mark is low as I feel like that’s the one that affected me the most but it wasn’t that bad to get me a 6 I’ll keep looking at requirements

Best of luck and I hope the remark goes well!
