do UK medical schools accept GCSE Resits
Hi
as the subject suggests, do medical schools accept GCSE resits.
Also what grades do they want at GCSE's pls?
How many 5's do they accept or is a 5 not good enough?
TIA

Yes the usually accept resits, some will have specific criteria, such as the resit being done with 12 months. In terms of grades they normally ask for a minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade 6 and above (specifically it has to be Maths, English and Biology usually as three of those 5), but again variation across unis, so Manchester needs seven GCSEs at grade A (7) or A* (8+) etc. Worth having a look at a few different websites for what they suggest, but I would say a 5 likely isnt competitive enough, and probbaly below the entry requirements of quite a few unis
