Applying to medicine with new A-Levels

If you are doing completely different subjects then it shouldn't count as resits, but each university has different policies so when it came to applying perhaps contact the universities you are looking at applying to. Plenty of universities accept resits.

I don't know if your plan is Law -> Graduate Medicine or dropping out of uni, resitting A-levels, and then applying to undergraduate medicine, but the latter is certainly the less expensive and shorter option.
I wouldn't however, recommend trying to resit the A-levels without dropping out of university. If you got BDE the first time without trying to balance a degree at the same time, you would probably struggle to bring them up to As and A*s with a degree at the same time!

thanks for your response! my plan is to drop out of uni, do the a levels and then apply for undergrad medicine. it's just the uncertainty of whether my a-levels will be accepted by the unis that's making me hesitant

Hiya,
This is a bit of an interesting case- as other commenters have suggested, you're not doing typical resits of the sciences, so it's a little up in the air as to whether the medical schools would count this or not. The best way to find this out is to contact the medical school admissions teams and see what they say- they will be able to give you much more concrete answers than anyone on here can.

Medicine, both at a graduate and undergraduate level, is extremely competitive. Your current plan is to drop out of university, redo your A Levels, hope you do well enough at those, hopefully do well at the entrance exams and hopefully get an interview for a medical school. While this is doable, it's also important to note that if you don't get into medical school, you would now not have a degree or be in university, and would essentially have started again. Would you be ok with this as an outcome? These are the types of questions to ask yourself regarding this.

Have a long think about what you really want to do and what outcomes you would be happy with. It's important to do what is best for you, but that can come in several different ways. i wish you the very best of luck with your medical journey! Please let me know if I can answer anything for you

Something else to mention, some medical schools wont accept people who started degrees and then dropped out without finishing the course. So take a look to see what places would accept you. Good luck

hey,
thank you so much for your response! i actually sent out a mass email to all the medical schools enquiring about my case and there were a few positive responses from the ones i've heard back from. so it's looking good so far!
