Medicine Entry

I am struggling to be able to get an A in chemistry in my mocks and keep getting low Bs, all of my medicine offers are AAA and I am worried I won't be able to get it, how likely do you think it would be that I did get let in if I got like A*AB or AAB ?
I have been through such a long process to get my medicine offers and the idea of failing on the last hurdle is awful.
I'm not really sure what to do.

Hi OP,

I completely understand what you mean (chemistry was my nemesis and I took an EPQ to compensate🥲), I know this isn't the news that you want to hear but please please focus on getting that A. I have friends who didnt get AAA and ended up getting their offers revoked which is the sad reality of how competitive medicine is. Get as much help as possible from your teachers whilst you still have access to them, run through all of PMT and just do as many questions as you can. You still have a good amount of time to turn things around!!!

Best Wishes,

Thank you, my recent mocks have been rough and I just feel like I am making no improvements, but I know I have 3 months to make the improvements I need to.
