Any Hope for Medicine?
I want to apply for Medicine, but I’m feeling quite stuck at the moment. I achieved ABB (Maths, Biology, Chemistry) in my A-levels, with Biology just 2 marks off an A. I sent it for remarking, but Paper 2 went down by 2 marks and Paper 3 by 1, leaving me 5 marks away from an A overall. At this point, I don’t want to remark Paper 1, as it feels unlikely to change.
Now I’m unsure whether I should apply for Medicine with a foundation year or resit both Biology and Chemistry (which I’d prefer to avoid). My main concern is that most medical schools require AAB on the first attempt, and some don’t accept resits at all.
Does anyone know which medical schools I could apply to in my situation? For context: I went to a non-selective school, neither of my parents attended university, and I live in a deprived area.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you might be eligible for some widening participation schemes/medicine with foundation year courses, so I think it's reasonable to try applying to those
