Gcse+international student??

I only have 5 gcses in biology chemistry physics maths and English of which I got a 7 in all of those except English which is a 5.

Any universities compatible with my grades for medicine?

You’ve got really strong grades in your science and maths GCSEs, which is great for medicine. The only thing is your English grade and having just five GCSEs might make it harder since most med schools want a 6 or 7 in English and more GCSEs overall. Some universities like Keele, Hull York, Buckingham, Chester, and Anglia Ruskin are a bit more flexible or offer foundation courses, so they could be good options for you. It might help to retake English and maybe get a few more GCSEs if you can. Also, focusing on getting great A-levels and doing well on the UCAT or BMAT tests will really boost your chances. If medicine feels tough right now, you could also think about related courses like biomedical sciences or pharmacy that can lead into medicine later on.

I might do that but the thing is I'm not quite sure if I can do gcses anymore due to age limits, I think? And also, it's too late from what I heard. Regarding UCAT, I'm not quite sure about the marks to be achieved as the grading pattern has changed this year and to say the least, I'm clueless on how to revise

there are no age limits for taking or retaking GCSEs.

That is true. you could start a gofundme or get a job (in the least meant way lol). But if you want to achieve your dreams of being a med student you have to do it. Maybe there are some government grants for people in your situation. have a look. chat gpt would be a good research tool just put it on deepresearch for your queery.
