Unfortunately, no.
However, got good news for you, if you have any factors in which affected this, you can reference it. Your GCSE’s can be took into consideration.

Possibly at Cambridge, not at Oxford. If you went to a state school and have extenuating circumstances they'd barely be a disadvantage.
Luckily, Oxbridge doesn't matter for medicine so you can go wherever.

Oxford care a lot about gcses but Cambridge not that much, so you may have a chance at Cambridge. But remember that a medical degree is a medical degree no matter where you study. Rankings don’t matter at all for medicine.

However, you still need to ace the BMAT, do extra research and other supercurriculars. Your grades are just the start.

As someone said, Oxbridge have 0 GCSE requirements, you could stand a chance (given you ace your BMAT, get A*A*A at A levels, and ace your interviews)

One person got in with 3 x A* - in 2015 (Oxford).
Please do not try Oxford, OP as it would be a waste of space on your UCAS form. Also you cannot apply to both Oxford and Cambridge at the same time.

If you have any more questions regarding medicine or the application, talk to ecolier like Oxford Mum said, he will be able to help you and give you better advice on it

Yes, ecolier is absolutely world class at this. We are very lucky to have him on TSR.

As far as I’m aware, I was referring to Cambridge, not Oxford.
