Hi there,

Honestly, those GCSEs are really strong! Most med schools aren’t going to care about a single 7, especially when everything else is 8s and 9s. Even for the very competitive ones, that set of results would put you in a great position.
I get the disappointment about being so close to the boundary, but from the outside looking in it’s genuinely impressive.

You’re definitely not blowing it out of proportion — lots of us nitpick our own results — but your GCSEs are very good for medicine!
Daniel
