Hi, so I recently got my a levels results and they were not what I was expecting at all (bcd) . I got rejected from my offer from medicine and got into medical pharmacology through clearing.I really want to still do medicine. It is worth re siting my a levels, the ucat or go into medical pharmacology?

Hey, if I were you and if I felt confident that I could retake my a levels and get 3 a's then this is the route I'd take.
GEM is super competitive and its a sort of drawing a name out of a hat type of situation. And undergrad med A100 as a grad would mean that you will only be eligible for maintenance loans. and in both situations you would need a heightened UCAT score 2750+ for A100 and 2900+ for GEM.
Ultimately, you will get into medicine so dont give up Make a plan, work really hard and pray
Thank you, I am having one of my results appealed to hopefully bring my d to a c. As I was one mark off. I have spoken to one of the unis I applied to foundation. On their website I can reapply if I get bcc and resit my a levels to get bbb. It is risky because I am not sure how long it will take for this to be remarked and what to do with my clearing offer. Such as accommodation etc.

okay, this sounds really good. I really hope you get that mark!!
maybe apply for accommodation but hold it off for as long as possible, so apply but dont sign the contract until you hear back from the remark!!
it says on google that it takes roughly 20 ash days for a remark
