Hi everyone,
In my GCSEs (2016) I got 10 A*s and an A. I really wanted to be a doctor but my family didn't want that and I was scared of getting rejected so I took History (A*), English Lit (A) and French (A) at A level and applied to law. I've just started my second year of Law at QMUL. I'm depressed and I've hated it ever since I've started. I don't want to be a lawyer. I want to be a doctor.
I have done research and want to know what people think my best options are from...:
1. Dropping out now and redoing my A-Levels in Biology, Chemistry and Maths, doing a UCAT and work experience and applying to Medicine traditionally (leaving me graduating at 26 if I do an accelerated course for A-Levels
2. Dropping out now and applying for Foundation Medicine at Manchester, Cardiff or Dundee after having worked for a couple of years, saved money, got work experience and a great UCAT
3. Push myself to finish this Law degree and do graduate medicine courses (although these are much more competitive and I really think I'd struggle financially with funding etc)
I don't know what to do. I've always worked so hard and now I feel like I might have to give up on my dream. Are there any other options, and if not, which of the three would you recommend?
Thank you all so much in advance for your help!
