Rejected prospective medical students 2023

Got rejected from my medical school choices. What is everyone else's plans for reapplying/alternative routes?
Personally I'm taking a gap year and will evaluate whether to reapply specifically for medicine course once I know my Alevel grades in Aug.
Also, kinda bricking it about chemistry alevel which I'm struggling atm to get an A for. Is retaking chem next summer allowed in terms of med school applications (do they accepts resits basically)?

TIA

Sorry to hear that. I doubt it will help right now but you are not alone.

Its not the end of your journey to medicine, its a two year process for many.
