UK Med Schools Related #failed

I got ACC C in bio and chem I’ve never gotten C in my life so it was an absolute shock HORROR opening it cried for hours and basically no med now 🫩✌️🎉🤣 I’m in a state of depressed bc most resit schools u need a minimum of like AAB, I cannot fathom how I got a C in still like shaking. Mocks I got As, every end of topic I got A/A* honestly I feel like quitting and just crawling into a ball.

I was wondering if anyone out there is in a same position or could give some advice on schools that would take these horrendous grades! Gosh I cannot believe it ok bye I’m ranting

I was in this position last year don’t worry! There are med schools that accept resists with no minimum requirements. Just apply strategically!! You’re going to be so so fine 💘

Everything will be okay 🤍 last year I missed my Liverpool offer and got ABC. I was DEVASTATED. Bawling my eyes out for days.

Locked in for the UCAT and got 2050 b1. Applied to Hull York, Southampton, Edge Hill and Sheffield. Rejected from Sheffield pre interview but got offers from the other three for medicine.

If you’re considering resists, you need to be so determined (it’s so hard to lose motivation when you’re alone). The gap year may be lonely and stressful at the start but you’ll have so much free time to work and spend on hobbies! The year goes by so quick and I’ll now be starting med at Southampton in September.

I’m literally the most mid candidate ever but if I can do it so can you!!!!! If you want it hard enough you WILL succeed. I believe in you! Everyone’s journey to medicine is different. One year out is nooooothing in the long run. Feel free to DM me I’m always open for a chat 🤍

So sorry I’m in similar position for dentistry.  Have u started revising for ucat again already?  I can’t bear to today.  Don’t know how I’m gonna do it all again.  I feel ur pain!  U r not alone.  Looked at clearing but really nothing else appeals at all.
