I first tried to get into medicine after A levels and I failed at getting the grades (achieved AAB). I then took a gap year, retook an A level to get an A and applied again. I again failed but this time at the interview stage. My 5th option was as an MPAS physician associate which I gladly took and I've been enjoying it but I can't help thinking about medicine. I have 2 options. 1st option is to apply this coming year for undergraduate medicine for a 3rd time. 2nd is waiting until my course is over, work a few years with a good wage to afford GEM and then apply.
I know being a doctor is what I want, I don't care about the money I'd earn, I don't care about the prestige or the title, I am in this for the right reasons. GEM might be the best financially (I'm unsure of the finances) but if I can afford it then I'd like to start as soon as possible.
Please can anyone give me advice on what to do in this situation. Any help is very appreciated.
