Low GCSE grades
I’m aiming for grade 5s for maths English and science, I’m focusing on them only to get 5 grades so I can go to college. Do I still have a chance to go to the medical area with not that good grades??
Medical is my only option rn, if not I’m not sure what I would wanna do and be.

it depends on what university you want to go to, and what branch of medicine you want to take. medicine is a very competitive field, so if you wanted to go to a prestigious university for example, your gcses don't really matter, but it's worth making sure your maths and english grades are good anyway. many universities use a-levels and your personal statement as a deciding factor, but some do look at gcses just to get a gist of your overall academic achievement. that doesn't mean you won't be able to do medicine if your gcses are low, but a-levels are a different story.
so, to answer your question, yes you do still have the option to get into the medical area with those gcse grades. just make sure that your a-level grades are good enough to get you where you want to be post-college. (people please correct me if i'm wrong) but i don't think gcses are ever a deciding factor when it comes to pursuing higher education in the medical field. yes, some do look at gcses- but they are unlikely to reject you if you've got an amazing personal statement, straight A's in a levels and then lower grades in gcses (but that entirely depends on the university/institution and their required grades). i hope that helps 🫶

I am not sure about Nursing but with dentistry a 6 at least in those subjects would put you in the best option it seems that for Nursing anything above a 4 would be acceptable for some unis but search them and look at entry requirements for dentistry theres is a booklet with a list if them it hasnt been updated (it updates every year)but it should still give you a good idea with Nursing search up uni and Nursing entry requirements
