So, basically I've been always thinking of becoming doctor when I was a kid and worked my way up (always been diligent with my studies ever since I was young and was super hardworking, got great gcses) and all of a sudden, I took the biggest L and got trash AS results, trash UCAT.
As a result, I was told by my teacher that I can't apply for medicine since it won't be a competitive application at all and I agree with her.
I studied Bio, chem, phys, and maths and got 2 Bs and 2 Cs (bio and physics but i'm dropping physics). Don't ask me what happened... Icl I expected even worse despite knowing how low the grade boundaries would be. I didn't put my 100% into my studies... I was so tired and felt like to gave up before few weeks of the exam (stress from school, and then personal problems at home too)
Now, I am so lost I don't know what to do.. My dream of becoming a neurologist got crashed in a day as well..
Ofc I have done some research on postgraduate medicine which is way longer and harder and also other routes but right now I feel so helpless.. Me and my family also moved in like a few yrs ago so we almost have no idea about how things work..
Now my questions are:
1. should I continue pursuing medicine after doing neuroscience (through postgraduate)
2. Any advices? or share how people tackled it with similar experiences? (im super lost right now)
3. Should I try BMAT still
4. What am i supposed to focus on right now?
5. Also if i am still able to apply to russell group universities with a hope to get accepted as well...
Sorry for the long-rounded question.. Any answers would be quite appreciated..
