Hi I have just done my year 12 mocks which form your predicted grades .I will probably get AAAB with the As in chem ,maths and Spanish .The B will probably be in biology .Is there any way I can get into a med schools if so which ones .Otherwise does anyone have any useful advice of how I can get into medicine .Thank you

Apply to med schools that do not need biology or persuade your teachers to predict you AAA in chem, bio and either maths or Spanish and drop the other subject
Which Medical Schools Don’t Necessarily Require Biology? You don’t need to have studied biology at A-level in order to apply to the following universities:
University of Aberdeen Anglia Ruskin University of Bristol Brunel University of Cambridge University of Dundee University of East Anglia University of Edinburgh Keele University Kent and Medway Lancaster University University of Leicester University of Liverpool University of Manchester Newcastle University University of Oxford Queen Mary University Queen’s University Belfast University of Sheffield University of St Andrews University of Sunderland University of Central Lancashire University of Leeds

I could probs get my Spanish teacher to give me an A* and get AA in in chem and maths but I’m not sure bio will budge .Do you know any unis that I can apply to ? Thanks

Brunel are a private uni for international students only. UCLan only accept 15 UK students who must be resident in the North West. Cambridge may not officially require biology for all colleges, but have an incredibly low success rate for people not doing 3 stem subjects Glasgow is missing off that list

Obvious comment but getting high ucat score will open doors and vice versa. Doing 4 a levels is a push but you may not need to do so much on final Spanish revision if you've reached good standard and it is strength for you, as it seems to be, and I think having a communication related subject is helpful. So, personal view, would keep Spanish (dd took alongside chem and bio, and loved that combo).
On negotiating with your teachers I would say that the motivation of a medicine offer will mean you would move the earth to get the grade. Ultimately however of course you can get in if you want it enough! Just get the grades
Also look at any possible contextual/WP offers if can't move predicted grade (no gap year etc). As noted do the research!

I will try and beg my biology teacher however I’m not sure we’ll see.
I know Lancaster does accept AAB. However I feel like I’m capable of getting an A in bio so would it be possible to get into medicine on results day?
There are lots of med schools that would accept your grades as they are, should you get that on results day, and several more who would interview you predicted AAB but any offer would be AAA, so it would just need for you to achieve those grades. Places that look at predictions will not shortlist you with AAB, if they need bio and you have no WP flags. They are likely to have lots of waitlisted people they have already interviewed on results day, but if you had no offers and something came up in Clearing, yes, you could apply for it.
