Transfer to Medicine from Biomedical Sciences with not the best A level grades

Just a quick question, when transferring to Medicine from Biomedical Sciences or courses which allow the transfer, are A level grades looked at? In the case a person does not recieve the best grades, should they retake the alevels, they didnt do as well on?
If not, does alevel grades impact a medical doctor in the future?

Depends on the uni in question. I imagine they'll predominantly be looking at your first years results, but I'd just be guessing as each uni has its own procedure.

Most of the BMS-medicine transfer schemes I've seen require you meet all the standard entry For medicine transfer schemes as far as I'm aware as above they normally consider the full school leaving criteria and require applicants to do exceptionally well in the first year. Or at least, state they expect you to have met all the original criteria for the medical degree regardless to be eligible for the transfer scheme.

Depends on the university and how you performed. But if I’m being honest, you need to worry about getting the top grades first. I’m someone who did this route and was successful and my grades were ABC in biology chemistry and maths respectively. So for me it didn’t matter too much. But I suggest you concentrate on yourself first. I personally messed up A-levels cos I was lazy and revised 2 weeks before exams. But my GCSE were straight A*/As with absolutely 0 revision, so I knew I had the ability but I had to change and put in the hard work. No point getting worked up over something out of your control.

This is exactly me. I had the top grades, all 8 and 9's at GCSE, but I feel as I have messed up my A levels this year with the lack of revision this year and as you have said, I was also lazy at GCSE's. So If this summer I dont get the grades (I was predicted ABB this year) in the summer this year, I will retake and probably apply according to which universities accept resit alevels. May I ask did u retake A-levels or just straight on went through the route with the transfer?

I'm in the same sort of situation, i have an offer for this sep bc my gcses and interview were good but don't think ill get the grades because i just didn't revise well enough so now I'm thinking of transfer to medicine options through clearing. Although I have a question - now that I'm looking at these courses, does that mean I'll have to do ucat this summer too?

literally me, im doing the UCAT this summer as well! wish i had actually focused this year and revised instead of being lazy, but thats a lesson that I have learnt. However dont lose hope you might get the results! Dreading for results day but good luck! got my fingers crossed for you!
