AS Level grades

today i received my as level and i can say that i am not proud with what ive come out with. My goal is to apply for medicine at manchester university in october and based on that i was wondering on the importance of my as results and how much of an effect it will have on my application?

I don't think it would have an effect if I remember correctly, they may have a glance at your predicted grades. But at the end of the day, UCAT/BMAT, Alevel grades and interview performance play a much bigger role

thanks for the reply. Upon the subject of interviews, won't my as level grade have a role in whether or not the university gives me an interview?

You may like Manchester but, you application may not score well there and in fact you may have a much greater chance of getting in somewhere else.

This is all hypothetical as we know none of your stats but applying strategically is the best way of getting into medicine

i got A D D E in my AS. which i know is quite bad when lookng upon applying for university

Can I ask why you're taking 4 subjects?

my college requires us to take 4 as level subjects and then when moving onto a level we drop one.
I obviously will be dropping the E grade (chemistry).

What are the other subjects that you're taking? For medicine, I personally don't recommend dropping chemistry as most unis may require it

im taking biology, psychology and english literature. I was originally planning on dropping psychology but im not so sure now with the turn out of the grades.

I would probably keep both biology and chemistry as that will give you wider range of universities to choose from to apply to

just want to ask because I'm in a similar situation, with an E in chemistry, how would our schools still let us take it? I also take 4 A levels plus and EPQ and really don't want to drop chemistry so I'm quite worried : (

I would discuss this with your school, a potential option would be dropping a fourth a-level (that isn't chemistry) and possibly EPQ.
What subjects are you currently taking?

oh okay I'm currently taking Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, Geography, EPQ - wanted to drop geography

Sounds like a good idea If you feel like it would take a bit of your shoulder, dropping EPQ as well is an option as you only really need 3 A-Levels, but this would be something you should discuss with your school to get their input as well

yeah that’s true I’ve also emailed my head of year so now it’s a waiting game come September about my next steps… I can only hope for the best and given the opportunity I’ll have to put in more effort :,)
