Do I still have a chance to apply for uni??? With failed GCSE’s
Basically I have the entry requirement gcse grades. I haven’t failed on any of my core subjects and have a great grade for one of my languages. But I did fail like
2 GCSEs and a btec (my teacher was not in for basically a whole year) got grade 3s on them. Would that mean that the universities I’m applying too will reject me? As having those 3 on there doesn’t really show a strong suit at all. It does not help that I’m applying to MPharm. I have the a level grades needed, but my GCSEs have been my weak point and idk what to do, as originally I thought I’d get away with just submitting the ones I passed and did well on, but I just found out that I’d obviously get my application withdrawn if I do.

Check that you meet any specific GCSE requirements - typically Maths and English. These are essential grades and not 'nice to have'.
Ask your school/college to explain the reasons for your GCSE wobble in your UCAS reference.
You must list all your GCSE grades - even if you don't like them.
