hi, i'm in year 12 and have completed AS levels so far. i do bio chem psych alevels. i dont know my predicted grades yet, but i do not fit into the entry requirements for most universities for GCSE maths as i achieved a grade 5. i know this doesn't put me in a good position as most of them automatically filter you out if you don't have a grade 6/ above. i have found two unis - exeter and brunel - that accept a grade 5 as the minimum. i also don't fit into any of the contextual criteria. i posted about this somewhere else, and was told if i somehow get into med school they're scared for my future patients. someone else also mentioned that there is a zero chance i'll get through medical school with a grade 5 as the maths is very difficult. my other gcses aren't like this, i got 9s 8s 7s in everything else except for 6's in media and geography. i dont know what to do, this is stressing me out and i have booked the ucat but if theres no chance of me getting in i dont know if i should cancel it or not. i havent even touched the ucat website ever since i booked my test for september. someone told me to look at foundation or gateway years but i dont understand, aren't these for people who are contextual? sorry if this makes no sense, should i forget about applying to medicine

hey i know it’s not my business but my friend told me they booked the ucat but im confused as every uni ive looked at says btec not accepted. do other unis accept this?

i heard that this is because the people who do it in sept have more time to revise. i am doing mine in late september. is this even true?

apologies if title doesn’t make sense i am very shaken, someone help me please it’s 12am and i was about to go to sleep until suddenly one tiny spider showed up on my laptop i look up at the ceiling there’s ten more. last week during my online tutor session i noticed a mid sized spider crawling into my closet but wasn’t gonna stop the session to kill it (i also couldn’t have killed it myself too scared to). i just realized that it was a mom spider. i opened my closet and see 5 babies at the top of it. i’m so scared this means they’re in my clothes what do i do, do i wash all of my clothes, im not sleeping in my room tonight. someone please help how do i get rid of them

sorry if the title doesn't make sense. currently in y12, someone told me they are applying for medicine 2027 entry but are taking the ucat next year. i asked and they aren't taking a gap year

hi im in year 12, i got 998877665 the 5 being in maths and i know most medical schools require a grade 6 or above in maths which already doesn't put me in a good spot. i have also heard that if you didnt get all 8s and 9s there is no point of applying as most applicants got very high grades. i researched and found that brunel medical school accepts a 5 in maths, but thats literally the only one i found that does. i would wanna apply there because its kind of close to me too, but what other unis could i apply to if i even do apply for medicine? i dont know what my plan b would be either

my post will probably get taken down for being 'low-quality', although this is a genuine question.

someone in a comment section said that emilie sacrificed her heart to make adrien (which is why adrien is so kind), colt sacrificed his brain to make felix (and thats why felix is so smart), and tomoe gave up her eyes for kagami and i didnt really see an explanation for this one. is this true?? the commenter said it was confirmed by thomas astruc and ive been searching but haven't found anything. people also say that felix graduated early, and that thomas also confirmed this too. can someone let me know if this is canon?

in school i learnt that RNA polymerase breaks the hydrogen bonds between the complementary base pairs which causes strands to unwind, but i just watched a video where it stated that its DNA helicase. i thought that was the case in dna replication, not transcription. are both of these answers accepted for ocr biology/ which one is correct?
