I want a career in medicine but in my view my GCSE results are really poor?

Question

i got 1A*, 2As, 4Bs, 1D and 5Cs( including two in maths and i'm going to drop it in Alevels because i can't do it, so i was thinking of an alternative subject to go with my other choices which are chemistry, biology and english lit). Can i make up for this in my A levels? Do unis ask for your GCSE result even if you get high grades in Alevels? Thnx. Ireally would appreciate your advice

Answer 1

Yes you can do physics instead of maths, but that is MUCH harder. If you want to do medicine you need to do maths, no way around it i'm afraid. I have chosen the same subjects as you including maths, also you need 3 A's at A level to get in for medicine anywhere (that means you need the A's in chemistry, biology and/ or maths & physics).

I asked the same question about how much A level results matter, and trust me they matter MUCH more! Check this out: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind...
