Do you need good GCSE for medicine with a foundation year

Yes, you do need good GCSEs to show your capability in medicine. Foundation years are mainly for students who have the same GCSE grades compared to the normal medical school degree, but they did the wrong a levels to get into the five year course (as an example, there’s obviously other reasons too) If that makes sense?

In context, what are your GCSEs?

is 10 9s and 1 8 enough?

10 A* and 1 A is enough yes

3 5s, 3 6s and 3 7s, are there not gateway courses for applicants with a disadvantage background (I came in the UK in Year 9, my family household income is 16,000, my mom is going to uni this year) but science a levels? I am in year 12 doing Biology Chemistry and Maths (got a 6 in Maths and a 76 in Combined Science)

There are gateway courses for students from disadvantaged backgrounds (the majority of them are tbh)

There’s a lot of misinformation out there saying gateway courses are only for people with the wrong A levels.

For Southampton, you must have chemistry and biology. Others e.g. Kings are pretty similar but will just lower the entry requirements. You’ll need to check if there are any location requirements too.

GCSE wise, it really is up to the uni so you need to check the entry requirements or the threads that others have suggested. But it’s typically in the same vein as A levels, you need English and maths but they’ll be at a lower grade usually.

bro, you don't need to tell the internet all of your info.
