I'm in year 12 and want to apply to medicine at a competitive uni (oxbridge, icl, kcl) and I'm scared because I have non-existent/poor reputation with my teachers. I don't really contribute in class or put my hand up and kinda just sit there in silence and do the work, or if I'm sat with a friend then I'm the type to talk and not listen and then get told off. I don't have teachers who like me particularly and I have never had conversations with them (unlike my other classmates who are super outgoing and engaged). I think some of the teachers genuinely don't like me too because they think I don't listen or something. One of my teachers is so passive aggressive and always specifically humiliates me in front of the whole class and tells them I've done something wrong or like pick on the stupidest stuff and tells out loud in front of everyone that I need to revise more cause I lack, which is always funny cause I come out of tests with all A*s. My GCSEs are all 9s. I don't really have leadership roles at school or do extracurriculars at school either apart from the school choir. In terms of supercurriculars and stuff like that I love wider reading so I think I'm doing more than enough, but the thing is the teachers don't know that because I don't tell them since I prefer not talking to them. They are the ones writing my reference though and I don't want this to hinder my application. Do top unis care a lot about references?
