What if some universities won't accept online learning?

Most do, contact the unis you see yourself applying to and ask as I’ve never heard anything about unis not accepting this. I know someone at the DLC who has an offer from Exeter for medicine. I also have 5 offers- 3 from RG’s who accept remote learning.

In access to medicine course biology and chemistry are unchangeable subject. But in some colleges for the 3rd subject they offer physics, mathematics or psychology. In my college, this year they are doing psychology. So I don't have any chance to choose. I must study psychology with other 2 subjects. Yes, I'm starting this September. Yes, you can apply to university this year or next year. I'm going to take a break and apply for university for 2026 entry. Because my UCAT score are not great enough to apply for medical university. So I'm planning to do some volunteering work for 1 year and take the UCAT exam next year again to apply for medical university.
