Is there still hope?
I’ve wanted to study medicine for a couple years now. I’m starting university in 2027 because I’ve decided to take a gap year to work in healthcare as a HCA in operating theatres.
My GCSES were not good at all, nothing higher than a 6, however I did pass maths and English at a grade 5. My A levels consist of three Level 3 courses in Health and Social Care, Psychology and PE at Distinction*, Distinction, Distinction, I originally applied for Science A-Levels but my sixth form didn’t let me do them because of my GCSE grades.
In 2027, I am going on to study either Biomedical Sciences, or Biological Sciences, I have found a few universities that’ll take my subjects for this, which gives me hope. After my undergrad degree I plan on applying for GEM, however, I’m not too sure if this is unattainable because of 1. My grades at GCSE and 2. The subjects I had to choose at A-Level (not necessarily the grades). I have always wanted to be a doctor and I’m not sure if I should be looking at more achievable careers instead.
Any tips or advice would be great thank you!
