I understand that but I’ve been dreaming of doing medicine at Bristol university but I know how competitive it is and I’m scared my mediocre grades will get in the way

Hey!

It is worth bearing in mind that Graduate Entry Medicine is also always an option. I had very good GCSE grades, but dipped a little at A Level, meaning that Undergraduate Medicine was off the cards for me. Graduate Entry Medicine allows you to follow your dream of studying medicine by doing a different undergraduate degree before doing medicine as a graduate even if your exams in school don't go to plan.

Graduate Entry Medicine at Swansea University is excellent.

Let me know if you have any questions.
