GEM and undergrad med advice
I'm currently studying biochem as my undergrad but im looking to do medicine after I've graduated, I did Bio, chem and classics at a level and got BBB, was just wandering which would be better for me to apply for, grad entry or undergrad? Just wandering if they would weight my degree higher than my a levels for undergrad and vice versa.

There are practical financial implications of going for undergrad instead of grad entry, it's a lot more expensive and you end up having to pay a lot more out of your own pockets. Although usually the standard undergrad is less competitive than graduate entry, so that's something to consider.
But you also have to check your eligibility. Your BBB will limit you when applying to the regular undergrads, as unis may not entirely do away with the A-level requirements for graduates (e.g.: UCL will want you to have achieved ABB in your A-levels anyway as a graduate).
