Hi! I’m sorry to hear about your results. I did not fail my A levels but I had to drop chemistry in A2 because I didn’t get the best grade (I got a C). I ended up studying Politics at university and reapplied for medicine (did a foundation course which required me to redo biology and chemistry and got outstanding grades). I’m now in my second year of medicine! All this to say, your dream doesn’t end because you didn’t get the grades the first time round. Perhaps apply for a subject cognate to medicine and then reapply to either standard entry or grad med in the future. If medicine is truly your passion, you’ll embrace the journey. Good luck!
