This is probably my favourite resource for researching degrees in medicine:
https://www.themedicportal.com/application-guide/choosing-a-medical-school/foundation-courses/
Plymouth accept resits for their foundation year if you score BBB in your resit. See: https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/bmbs-bachelor-of-medicine-bachelor-of-surgery-with-foundation-year-0/entry-requirements
Unfortunately, all of the unis that offer foundation courses for medicine will ask for at least Bs in your Chem and/or Bio.

Two of my friends got BCC and didn’t get into medicine so they’re planning to resit, maybe consider resitting who knows you may do so much better and get offers from really good unis!

Unfortunately this is one of those rare times on results day where I say that I don't think you're going to be successful with this. Have you spoken to your school about these results?
(Just to say I've updated your thread title to make it a little clearer and moved your thread to the medicine)

Hey there
•
Note that, not all med schools will accept resits
•
The only realistic option I can think of is potentially study abroad, or studying another STEM degree and doing graduate entry medicine in four years, after your first degree

by Tara753Hi there, I was in your exact position last year and missed my offer too. I decided to resit the two C's and apply for medicine foundation courses alongside the UCAT. This year, I've managed to get in, its definitely possible but it can be a challenging experience.
Oh hey what medicine foundation course did u get into as I'm in a similar situation this year

Hi there, irrelevant to the thread and asking for next year, do you know whether or not all law schools accept resits?

Hi, I was wondering how you went about reapplying, did you use your BCC as predicted grades?

No I reapplied with 3x B's for the medicine with foundation year but retook the two c's. Hope that explains

Do you think you could realistically cope with the academic pressures/challenges of a medicine degree/career if you cannot meet the requirements for any of the medschools? Something to think about

i hate when people make this argument. like the person's 17/18? their decisions now do not reflect their lifelong academic ability.
