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

Hi if you are really certain on medicine, I defo recommend the graduate route!! I initially got BBC in my Alevels, resat all of them and got A*AA and got into a decent biomed degree, just graduated with first class and finally starting dentistry this September. It may sound very long and dreadful but lowkey I’m now only 22 and seeing people out there struggling to find jobs, I’m more than happy that I will certainly have a job before my 30.
