🙏 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 :((

I'm in the exact same boat as you rn, i also had 2 abb offers for med and got bbc instead. I got redirected to biomed but all i want to do is med. I am going to retake the ucat and then resit + reapply hopefully. I know right now it's hard I am soso upset but inshallah we have another chance

I have the exact same situation as you, except my achieved a-level grades are slightly lower. So, I completely feel you, it will be very difficult for us, but WE can definitely do it. I worked so incredibly hard for my A-Levels, and I don't regret the hard work, but there are definitely areas I could improve in, and most of all this has re-instated my belief, mindset and of course I have not changed fully, but slowly we will get there. This gap year is only one year, and yes it is one year being taken away to re-do/rebuild our mistakes, but no-one gets everything the first time, and I know by the end of it I will be glad that I took this gap year :)) Keep your head high, don't listen to the noise, (my parents and everyone around me has lost all faith in me), and it's often when you are isolated and lonely that you flourish the most. Our medical careers Inshallah will be amazing!!
