Hi!

Do you have any extenuating circumstances? If so your tutor could take those into account when predicting your degree.
Are you able to retake the modules/get a better grade? Your tutor will write the reference in September/early October so if you retake that will give you time for the results to be out.
The other option would be doing a masters after your degree (if you get a 2:2) and applying with the masters result or trying your best in your last year to get a 2:1 and applying after.

Answering your questions, you do get asked for transcripts and I am unsure on whether your tutor will predict a 2:1. Maybe if you get really good grades in your next modules/retake and pass the failed ones he will predict you a 2:1. Just talk to your tutor and explain them your circumstances.

Just wanted you to know that even if you do not get the 2:1, you can still apply to med and there are loads of different ways. Keep pushing and I am sure you’ll do great💗💗

Hello,
If I want to apply to medicine, have a 2:1, but have 1 failed module, would it be a disadvantage?
Do all masters including medicine, ask for a full grade transcript?
