Applying to Biomedical Science

Hey
I am in the process of apply through Ucas to Universities for Biomedical science.
Last year I sat both my Biology and Chemistry A levels and received two Cs, which was unexpected as I was working at at A/B grade level.
This year I am taking economics as I had to drop Computer science the year before.
I am predicted an A*/A in economics.
This leaves me in a hard place as for the majority Universities require at least Bs for Biomedical.
At the moment I see my possible options are:
Applying to Universities I'm not necessarily happy with.
Doing a foundation year.
Re-taking biology, however my confidence with exams is weaker.
Waiting to apply through clearing but not sure if more options will be available to me.
I am just really insure and not sure what is best.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
The two C grades are a worry as they are obviously the essential subjects for this degree.
You wont get an offer from Unis wanting specific grades, so you are looking at lower level Unis that want approx 112 / 120 UCAS points - and are not fussy about those C grades.

etc.
Is there anyway for you to go to your heads of Sixth form or college to get them to change i?This happened to me as well so I showed evidence of working at this level and they changed it for me.

Have you looked at any courses offering foundation years for biomedical science? Im sure Cs will be acceptable for that

Points-wise ACC is off the mark for top universities for biomed. It would be best if you considered second-tier universities or a foundation year. You should have been advised to retake either biology or chemistry.
