3 a level resits for medicine / dentistry

I'm currently 20 years old. I still haven't gone to university as my dream courses or medicine/dentistry and I don't want to study anything else. Im getting older now so I really need to go university so I can build a successful career.

At GCSE I achieved 7,6 in science, 7 in math and 7 in English language 6 in literature 6 in geography and l2 D* in Health and social and business.

At A levels I achieved BED the first and second time (I didn't retake the B I got in business the second time). This was due to undergoing some thing which counted as extenuating circumstances. I want to give my A levels one last try now that I feel prepared but I want to ask is there any universities for med or dentist that will consider me?

I’m in practically the same position, just retook my a levels for a second time however my circumstances did not “count” as extenuating. I applied for qmul for my first and second retake but the second time around my application was rejected. I’m contemplating the same as you because I’m not entirely sure this year has been a success for me either.
