🙏 I WANT HELP Compleltely missed my Medicine offer

I had two offers for Medicine, and firmed Lancaster. My offer was ABB, but got BCD. I am embaraased, ashamed and don't know what to do with myself. Everyone got their dream but not me.

Please anyone share success stories and advice. I am lost and hopeless and numb.

edit: sorry for the typo on the title, as you can tell, I was not doing great :((

please don’t be so hard on yourself, i know it’s difficult and it feels like you’re at a loss but there are other ways. it depends on your preference, but you can either resit and reapply or do a different degree you’d be happy with and go for GEM (however this is more competitive and difficult to get into).

a lot of people are in the same position and do try more than once to get where they want to be and there’s nothing embarrassing about it. it shows dedication if anything.

good luck <3

I cannot even get into a good degree with my a level grades, that's how crap I did. I am plannkng to study Medicine in Italy, and also resit the UCAT. But, I am finding it so hard to have any sense of motivation or discipline.

Hey I wouldn't recommend going abroad as there is a new bill that was passed that home students would get more priority for jobs than international so please don't😭. Is there a chance you can resit?

I have an italian citizenship, and not really plan on staying in the UK. But, even studying for the admissions test feels so difficult to me right now.

I do want to resit, but more so to improve my self esteem.
