5 in GCSE English Language

I was researching medical unis to apply for next yr as i am in yr 12. As i was looking at the requirements, all unis require a grade 6 in English Language. This is a problem for me as i got a grade 5 in English Language and was a mark away from the next grade boundary. My paper was sent in for remarking and I was surprised to see that the grade didn't change. Generally, the grade I got for English was a shocker as i was used to getting 7s and at one time an 8. Even in the exams I didn't miss any questions and wrote each answer in extreme detail. The problem is that I am now worried about being rejected from unis such as UCL and KCL of which I want to apply to. Can anyone tell me if this is something to worry about or if anyone is in a similiar situation? Thank you very much in advance :smile:

I am in the exact position as you I got a 5 on my final exam but I had been getting 7s throughout the year. I talked to my sixth form head and he added to me on to the class ofgcse english resits. So I'd advice to see if it's possible to resit english again (yes ik it might be daunting well....for me it is but I needed to do this to be able to go to any decent uni )
