How badly will having a 6 in Biology GCSE affect getting into Vet School

For the 10 current vet schools, I have all the required GCSE grades, excluding Biology separate science for some of the schools such as Aberystwyth or Nottingham - if I do get the A-level grades required for a contextual offer, will my 6 in Biology GCSE affect my chances of an offer?

If you don’t have the required gcse grade, do not apply. Vet schools get people who exceed all their application criteria so a gcse that doesn’t reach those requirements is an easy reject to get rid of a candidate

Some vet schools will require a 7 or above in biology, but I know that this isn't the case for all of them (some only require a 4). I'd reccommend looking at each university's individual entry requirements and adapting your application to go for those who don't require the 7.
