Can I get into medicine with BCC??!
I wasn't going to apply at first but the thought of not doing med was genuinely heartbreaking and since the deadline is tomorrow I thought I may as well apply.
I am a gap year applicant (didn't apply last year) and due to some unseen circumstances my grades were
BCC, with the Cs in Bio and Chem and the B in Maths. My GCSEs were all 7s and my UCAT is 1880 band 2. My personal statement is sorted.
I do not have enough time to get predicted grades provided but please if you have any advice or suggestions feel free to comment or message me privately. Thank you!

You have BCC achieved, but are retaking privately with no predictions? Who are you nominating as your referee?
