Is this really enough to gey into med? We had a recent assembly about post-18 choices where the lead speaker was really negative about applying for med, with a 'If your not good enough they wont take you, they have plenty of other candidates they'd want over you'.
GCSE:
Grade 8 in - Bio,chem,physics, english lit, geography, business
Grade 7 in -Maths, Spanish]
Grade 6 in - english lang
In my school we have to sit formal AS exams which are happening in a few weeks, with the grade we achieve in these being the grade sent off to our unis as 'predicted'. In my mocks i got ABCD (with my mocks being a week after I got back from 2 weeks in America so no revision), and having my EPQ second draft due in on the date they started so all of my energy was put into that. Since then ive been working really hard and believe I could Achieve an A in business, A in biology, B in chem, and A/B in geography (droppin at the start of year 13 anyway). From this, I think i could be able to be predicted A*(biz), A(bio), and hopefully an A in chem but could only be a B.
Along side this I have also completed my EPQ on a medicine topic (robots / ai in medicine), in which I achieved an A* (full marks). I have also started emailing places about work experience which i hope to complete throughout the summer.
Is this honestly enough for med ? I know I still have the UCAT in the summer, however is there anything else I could do alongisde all of this to aid my medical application ? Within school I hjave completed many biology and chemistry competitions, got a lifeguarding qualification, and aidijng with societies such as medic society and current affairs.
