Hi, I wanted to apply to the UK for medicine, but will I be able to.
I had 3A*s and 6A in OLevel and I just did my AS but I messed up my grades and got 2B and a C.The C I'm giving a retake this October.Simultaneously Iam giving my Ucat in September.I am going to improve my Bs to hopefully A*s in A2 but can I still apply to university now.My first priority was university of birmingham.Please can someone help me out.
You can still apply to UK medical schools, but strong A-Level predictions, a competitive UCAT score, and a good personal statement will be your answer getting a strong application. I left school early with **** grades at 16. Worked then went back to uni.. got a masters then applied when i was 29! Only applied to one course and just studied the hell out of what they were looking for and got in. If you are determined to do it, you will

Uni of Birmingham requires AAA predicted grades (usually based on AS grades/grades given by teacher after A1) and then you need to achieve A*AA at A level. You need a competitive UCAT (2700+ usually) as they weight this in their likelihood of an offer, so the higher the UCAT the better. If you are an international student you may need to do separate research as this is from the perspective of a home student (I applied last year and was offered a place).
