Hi guys,

I am very concerned about my GCSE grades not being good enough for medicine at a top university.

For context my gcses are 9888877776 (although I am getting the 6 in physics remarked as I was very close to a 7). Do you think I still have a chance at a top med school granted my ucat score and predicted grades are really strong?

And if so btw what med schools would you recommend applying to?
