Retaking year 12

Ok so I am heart broken, ucl medicine explicitly stated that they dont accept restarting year 12 and i might just assume this applies to me. I moved to a new sixth form after a year previously in another sixth form doing essay lit subjects. I realized these subjects are not for me so i sat my AS subjects and gets AAB and i moved to another sixth form and redoing year 12 with three brand new courses i wanted to do which is bio chem and maths, but now I amd checking the requirements and noticed this policy. Ucl has always been my dream school now im so heartbroken

Best advice is to email the admissions team and explain your situation, they will be able to help.
But whilst UCL may be your dream school, just remember there are a lot of other options out there

You need to check with UCL, but usually this rule applies when you are retaking any subjects, not when you change all 3.

It doesn't matter where you train as a doctor. The NHS won't care, and your future patients wont ask. You may need to ask yourself why 'UCL' appears to be more important to you than wanting to be a doctor
