Want to apply to med but got a Grade 5 in English Language

Hi, in my gcses i got 88887765, the 5 being in English Language. I'm currently studying Biology, Chemistry and Maths at A-levels. I was recently accepted into Pathways to Professions Birmingham.
I wanted to know that if i complete P2B and do well in my UCAT and interview, can i still get into to Birmingham with my GCSE grades?
Thanks.

Nah… I doubt it. My mates are also applying med and they have straight 9s in 10 subjects(not 8 ) and they also close to full score in UCAT but still says that med application was hard, and trust me almost everyone applying med are similar. Realistically in the competition, even if you get full score and all A* in all you predicted, it will be tough. Universities do ask for grades all above 7s at least and more then 4 subjects 9s is the minimum… I am sorry if this discourages you but if you want to really try, there are always chances. Best luck!

I doubt Birmingham will (defo email to confirm) but as far as I can see you have a few options:
(a) you resit your english language gcse which is obviously not great
(b) you get a decently high ucat and you apply with that to a limited selection of unis
I have tried checking for you and some unis that currently accept a grade 5 in english language (these may change so please make sure you check) are: St Andrews, Plymouth, Brunel and there may be a few more. Queen's Belfast may also however since they score gcses its probably unlikely.
