Has Southampton contacted anyone regarding their GCSE’s? I literally went to Southampton for my undergrad so I don’t know why they’re questioning my GCSE results. They’ve basically emailed to ask for my certificates but I no longer have them so I am currently awaiting to receive the results from the exam board 😭 it’s hella annoying too since my previous secondary school has completely rebranded, not even the same name anymore, not the same headteacher, management etc. and they no longer have any info about what exam boards were what back in 2013… No other med schools have requested for my GCSE certificates so far, just my degree certificates which I have and have sent.
I just don’t want it to affect my chances of an interview 🥲

I’ve had no contact with Southampton. Yes, it is frustrating but I think it’s a good sign that they’ve contacted you as they’re likely considering your application!
Their GCSE entry requirements on their website is 4 GCSEs at grade C/4 including English Language, Maths and Chem or Bio or Combined Science and additional science. If that helps anyone at all?
I guess for everyone else make sure you have a copy of your GCSEs too
