Europe vs Grad Entry Med

I've currently finished my 1st year of biomedical science in the UK but medicine is the end goal. I'm really stuck between going to Europe (sofia in bulgaria) or trying to get a first for graduate entry. I need help so bad I swear and the application deadline for sofia is closing soon. Please help. Mind you I didn't do amazing in a levels and from 1st year results I didn't get a first so idk how to take that.

Bulgaria is a good choice because you don't need an NC. However, at the end of the day, it's important to do what feels right. Maybe think about what job you would like to aquire in the future and if your degree is supporting those dreams. Good luck with everything you decide on doing!

Hey, Sofia is a little competitive to get into, I suggest to see other universities

I'm applying for dentistry at Sofia. A-level biology and chemistry will be used towards your final ranking. If your sitting with A's and B's you will be fine however if you have a mix of B/C i would say you need to aim to score full marks in the entrance exam. An agency can help you out with your options and perhaps suggest different univerisites.
