Applying for medicine
Hello, I am currently studying A levels and am a year 12 student . Currently, I am deciding the pathway which I would like to pursue as my career and medicine at uni has sparked an interest in me.
I have taken Biology, Chemistry, Maths and EPQ.
I am still awaiting on my most recent mocks so I do not have any results.
My gcse results are:
Biology-8
Chemistry-8
Maths-8
Music-8
Physics-7
History-7
English Lit-6
English lang-5
Further maths-5
Spanish F-5
I am disappointed with my results however I can not change them now.
Regarding my English language, I am considering retaking again to get a higher grade.
Is there anyone who has any advice for me or anyone who has been in a similar situation? Or if it is even possible for me to apply.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
