Have a chat or email your pathway programme uni

Although I believe some pathways programme unis do want to have the minimum cutoff score achieved. Which uni is that you are referring to? If Imperial, they are likely to want minimum cutoff for their pathway programme - but no one knows what cutoff is for this year as yet. Pathway should be slightly more lenient - again, have a chat with them.

Otherwise for other medical schools, I'm afraid it will be a no.
