If you used Clearing in 2024, how did you find it?

can I get into medical with these grades

just got my GCSE results, and I'm a bit disappointed because I was predicted to get a 9 in sciences. I'm feeling a little nervous now and wondering if I can still pursue a career in medicine. Can someone please offer some advice?
my grades are

bio - 7 really sad I wanted a 8/9
chem - 8 ok
physics - 6 - sooooo disappointed cause I always get 9s in it but im getting remarked
maths - 7 - better if it was an 8
English language - 8 - really proud of my self
English lit - 6 - ok
geography - 8 - also really proud but I was only 4 marks of form getting a 9
fine art - 6 - meh
German - 3 oops..hehe

Hi don't be so down on yourself. Have you thought about an alternative route.

For example, try to find a university with a foundation year and study Medical Science.

As a graduate you will be able to apply for medical school.

Best of luck with your future plans.

These grades are fine for medical school as some schools only look at minimum requirements so maybe best to avoid some that score gcses but overall very well done those are great results
