3rd attempt at UCAT - should I give now ?

Goldengirl2002

Looking for some honest possibly brutally honest advice here. Should I throw in the towel at this point ?

This is my 3rd time doing the UCAT and even though there has been an improvement in my score, its just not enough to get any interview offers due to rising UCAT cutoffs. :frown:

Context
IGCSEs - 1 A* 7As 2Bs
IB - 36 points with 666 HL in Biology, Chemistry and History
UCAT 2020 - 2080
UCAT 2022 - 2490
UCAT 2023 - 2590

Also its not like I can apply to " low UCAT" universities because for that you'll need to be 10A*+ (at GCSEs) and 40+ (at IB) student.

So I guess my question is... what now ? Should I just quit despite spending so much time trying to get work experience/ volunteering at the hospital ? It feels like such a waste at this point.

However I also can't imagine doing another career...

Have you though about studying medicine abroad you would have to fund it yourself but i would imagine you would've saved up if on a gap year just an assumption its fine if you didn't it is pretty expensive though or what about graduate entry medicine so just you can get a degree.
