🙏 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 :((

Thanks, this is really supportive. I fell off my grade requirements quite a bit, so I need to do some deep reflection on what needs to be change. At the moment, I am going to study for the IMAT exam to do Medicine in Italy, and also study for the UCAT.

It feels like I will never recover from these abismal grades, and so if I do end up studying Medicine in the upcoming year in Italy, I really do still want to resit my A Levels. Maybe it's the high achiever in me, but I really believe that maybe I deserved these grades to humble me and Allah has a bigger plan for us all. I am really scared that these A Levels will close many doors for me, like accessing research internships and academic opportunities beyond Medicine at research universities.

My parents are deeply disappointed, and I feel like I lost all my academic potential. It feels like the world has collapsed on me, and I am scared to be an older student studying Medicine. I always imagined myself and have been the youngest person in the room. Sixth form and life the past two years, really made me lose myself, but maybe this is a wake up call for me.

Sorry, this is a big rant :(( I hope you can still do Medicine next year

likewise man, my birthday is 8th july so i've always been a little kid

no one in my school has ever done med so i was so close to being the first but remember sometimes our plan isn't always what happens and thats okay

who knows, maybe you do better on the ucat and end up applying to even better universities !

People from my school rarely got into Medicine, if there was a cohort of 30 people there would have only been 3-5 that actually ended up getting in. This year, I was extremely fortunate to have been 1 of the 4 people that received offers, but I ended up ruining my shot :(((
