imperial medicine GCSES

hi,
i plan to apply to imperial for medicine this year. i have severe extenuating circumstances as i had to flee a war in year 10 and had to learn the year 11 content in a year. i achieved 98877774 at gcse, with an 8 in english language, a 7 in maths, a 77 in science and a 4 in geography
i’m aware imperial only require a 6 in english language but considering how competitive the university is, since i meet their requirement for a 6 in language, will that be the only time they look or consider my gcses? what if im head to head with another candidate?
i’m on track to A*A*A predicted and i aim to get the equivalent of 2900+ in my ucat this summer.
please my anxiety is eating me alive

dont listen to the previous reply saying not to apply, when it comes to applying i heard that you can can call the university you want to apply to and ask about extenuating circumstances usually theres a deadline and other stuff to complete too im also planning on doing the same thing even if the application process is very competitive they are required to take jt into consideration however there is a deadline and you need to submit it by then for now i recommend you focus on preparation for the ucat and dont worry too much hopefully everything goes well for you )

Unfortunately you don’t meet the imperial English language requirement so regardless of your circumstances the robot would automatically reject your application so I don’t believe it’s worth applying to imperial since you’ll get immediately rejected

i got an 8 in language, the requirement can’t be a 9 surely not 😭

I think it would be a good idea to check your predicted A level grades. The predicted grades seem high to me considering that you only got one 9 at GCSE. I appreciate that you had only a year to do some of the work so in way that makes the predictions even more difficult to get right. How you do your course work won't always predict how you get on in an exam.
Medicine has a lot of exams and an awful lot to learn so how you did your GCSEs would be good practice for that.

i disagree - im still waiting for my results for my AS levels in august, but regardless i dont think that my GCSEs are a fair measure of my capability. If i felt that i may have a problem with A levels and predicted grades i would’ve mentioned it but i genuinely think ill be fine and that’s not me deluding myself, i just know my potential. ill update this in august with my AS results which should be AAA and A*AA - i hope i dont sound cocky it’s just confidence 😭

do you think you’ll get an AAA in AS exams and this Will boast ur predicted to A*AA?

yes i defo think i got AAA in my as exams, i think minimum a*aa atm but i can get it boosted to a*a*a if i do well in my maths mock in september !
