  • A very emotionally draining A level results reaction... please only comment nice things because I feel TERRIBLE :( I had a UK medicine offer for AAA and did A-level biology, A-level chemistry, A-level maths, and an EPQ extended project dissertation on medical research ethics.

    Never give up. I didnt get my desired A levels, did biomed, scraped a 2:1, applied to med, got zero offers, applied again and got 1 offer. I sailed through med school without failing a single exam. You are gonna face adversity on the journey but if you really want this and you work hard enough you will get there. DON’T GIVE UP👊🏿

    11:45am update: the medical school said the biomed offer thing was a formality on UCAS so I can take the autumn exams for 2021 entry which are in ~50 days.. but I rightfully will not have to reapply with personal statement, interviews, and sit the UCAT entrance exam again😭

    The irony is that we already have a medics shortage and 2020-21 was / is meant to be a medic dense cohort( I’m including 2021 for the fact that Im in year 12 and so many aspiring medics are already thinking of dropping it because we haven’t been taught for 6 months and nothings being done about exams ) so the government really have potentially cost themselves not one , but two cohorts of medics . This isn’t just exam results Gavin Williamson has toyed with.They really are relying on people’s willpower to persevere with medical ambition after 3 years of biomed instead of going into research.

You can take a year out and apply next year too! Don’t worry the journey isn’t over and there are so many different routes you can take do studying medicine. Wishing you all the best 💕

    My heart really breaks for you, i too applied for medicine but didn’t get any offers, so i wanted to do biomed and do post grad medicine, but now i can barely even get into biomed. So now i have to retake which i really don’t want to do bc now i have to add even more time to my already lengthy uni process. We didn’t deserve this and we have been robbed of our effort, but maybe it will be a good thing and in the future it will be a good thing that things turned out this way.

I know it doesn’t change how disappointing today must have been but just wanted you to know the extra few years aren’t too bad 💖 best of luck with your application!!

    I have a friend living in Abu Dhabi, she told me that even there students were screwed over with grades and they have to pay per subject to appeal- it's bad all over. I wish you all the best, as a fellow Medicine offer holder, my place at Glasgow is deferred to 2021 and I had to take several gap years before even applying. It was honestly the best thing that I could have done. You will get there in the end, you have shown such strength of character- I have no doubt you will be a fantastic doctor.

    you are so so amazing and I am so sorry that this has happened-the results and the rejection does not determine or discredit how hard you have worked especially with how these results have been calculated (your results were still so amazing though!) I honestly believe that everything happens for a reason-and your path is such a bright one and you will thrive so much. You also made such a valid point about mocks too-people did mocks at different times/different intensity’s/people cheated so these results definitely do not reflect or determine your hard work at all. When you can please take time to enjoy yourself and do what you love to do as you deserve it so much. Praying that things work out for you and well done for all the hard work💕💕💕 (edit-you are also going to absolutely smash those Autumn exams! Wishing you so much positivity🙌)

    I feel for you guys in your final year of A-levels, this year really has just been a shambles 😔 as other comments are saying, please don't let those letters define your self worth!! You had your med school offer (that in itself is a huge achievement), you just need to pull those maths and chem grades up and you're in! I always try to see these downfalls as blessings in disguise. Trust me, med school life is hectic and I wish I had a gap year before coming in because in hindsight a year really is nothing. Although your gap year isnt a conventional one since you still have to do exams, if you put your mind to it, you really will smash it I'm sure (and you'll get to enjoy the rest of your year🥰) Sending you lots of love and good luck, we're all rooting for you xxx

    I applied during A levels and got 1 offer but failed to meet it because I achieved A*ABa instead of AAA. I applied again in my final year of biomedical sciences with a predicted first class and got 3 pre interview rejections and 1 post interview rejection. The third time around (this year) I received 3 interviews and 3 offers and will be starting med school this September. Keep pushing on and you’ll make it. Just know that so many people don’t get in on the first time

    Don't let a system make you give up on your dreams, there are so many paths to get to medicine. Life can be so unexpected sometimes, but take a deep breath and keep going, your passion for it will get you there. Personally I didn't make it into my chosen uni's for medicine in the U.K but I'm in my 5th year of medicine in bulgaria, and when I start working in the U.K soon,I'll be back in the same boat as every other junior doctor, all people will see is my title saying Dr, without realising the journey it took for me to get there. Don't ever feel embarrassed or ashamed of these experiences, they are just growing pains, you need them to build the character of that successful person you will become one day.

    Absolutely don't be giving up hope. I remember getting rejected from dental school the first time I sat my A Levels and missing out on every single one of my grades, including my biomed requirements. It was the worst feeling in the world and thought I would never get into dentistry. I left my old school which wasn't right for me at that time and resat my A Levels the next year in a further education college. I got no offers for UK dental schools but I still focused on my grades which were my main priority. I went from BBC to 3A*s in one year, and got offered a place in Dentistry in Trinity College Dublin. I am now in fourth year and am so happy how things worked out. It also gave me more maturity by taking that extra year to try my exams again. if you have your heart set on something you can absolutely achieve it and you will become a doctor! Also don't settle for the UK medical schools, try those in Ireland or Europe! (given they aren't financially straining or taught in a foreign language) Best of luck and I've every faith things will go your way :)

I don't know if things have turned around with CAGs for you. But if you have to do the Autumn exams, think about it you have plenty of time. This is as if you started revising in Easter. Of course, because you haven't had school it's going to be harder but you have one less A-level to worry about!

    Nooo. Thats very unfortunate but I am glad they allowed you to defer the conditional offer as long as you get the grades which removes the stress of re applying etc.
    You have this in the bag easily. 50 or so days is more than enough. You WILL study medicine and it isnt long now.
    I will try and give advice for improving on A level chemistry and Maths as I myself got a C and D in chemistry and maths in Yr12 but improved on this massively in YR13.
    You can do this ! Your very lucky to have this second shot and with the stresses of applications being removed all you have to do is study chill and get that offer :)

    Leah, that was such a rollacoaster of emotions- mostly from me watching in suspense!! 🤣
    You are amazing and STRONG. 💪😤👊🗣. One thing I’ve learnt this lockdown is that life is not fair. But we have to make it bearable with our strength and power. You go and show the idiots who gave you those grades who’s boss and prove them WRONG 😡. I’m so happy that you were pleased with your EPQ and Bio though- you deserve that and more. Exams are a time to prove people wrong, and that’s why I was so gutted back in March. Say to yourself everyday- “I AM STRONG” and maybe some other affirmations- spray paint them on your wall or get a tattoo with it (😂). I am getting my GCSE results next weeks and I know that I have to give myself this advice as well or I’ll be a hypocrite 😅. 50 days isn’t long, but you are bigger than the books and will smash those exams. I believe in you and I know you do too. You are an inspiration to us all- keep us updated on the autumn journey you’re on. Sone day you’re gonna be a great doctor- not only in skill, but also with your inner strength and compassion. Also- celebrate the fact that you made it through those hard too years. I haven’t even started my A levels yet but I haven’t ever heard them being called easy. I am also doing Bio, Chem and Maths (and EPQ and f maths- if I can cope though) to do medicine most likely, so thank you for inspiring and reminding me to work hard and fight against adversity. Have an amazing year and thank you!! Xx
    This will make your even better if you decide it to be. (Don’t mean to be so forward in this comment, but I’m gonna read this to myself next week to calm me down and stoping me from having a another panic attack)

    Don’t worry too much - these things happen for a reason, even though we don’t know why!
    A,B and D gives you a total of 8 points out of 12, which makes your overall average 2.6 which is between C and D.
    I am surprised you didn’t have to do physics - when I did ‘A’ levels for medicine, only 1 person (out of 3 applying for medicine) at my school didn’t do physics for medicine, and she got into 1st year.
    She also failed chemistry.
    The 2nd person failed physics and chemistry and got into 1st year - at a different University.
    I did 4 subjects (biology, physics, chemistry and maths), and passed all, and went into 2nd year.
    This was a LONG time ago (1970) and women had to have a B average - men only had to have a C average!!
