I really want to study medicine at university, but I don't have the right grades, is there anyway around this?

Question

I really want to study medicine at any university however, I don't think my A-level grades will be high enough. For my GCSE's I achieved: 6A's, 3B's and 1C. At the moment I am studying my AS-levels: Biology, chemistry, psychology and food and nutrition. I am also an active member of the school as I take part in: lesson support, peer-mentoring and little chef for the primary school children. I have also carried out 1 week's work experience in Arrowe park hospital following the footsteps of a peadiatrician. I also work part time in a residential home for the elderly, and have previously done 3 months work experience in a nursery for young children.
If i am unable to apply directly to study medicine at university, is there anyway I could take another relevant course, then go on to study medicine? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

if you are in undergrad right not and don't have enough grades the best thing to do is do your masters and do well in it and at that time you can also take MCAT which is for students who want to be a doctor and do that. hope it helped

Answer 2

I agree with the first answer. Consider applying to med schools in different countries if you can't qualify in your own. But the biggest thing will be to improve your grades in the courses you're involved with now. I don't think the past grades will destroy you, but you need to raise your level of commitment in the future classes. Best of luck to you.

Answer 3

You can study medicine and become a doctor...... in Grenada...

check it out... good luck

P.S.
Some people are book smart and others are common sense smart .... maybe you are a common sense smart person... I had rather go to a doctor like that than one that is book smart...
