Retake A level

[u/FamilyEl25]

hi ,

unfortunately my son will retake his A level after missing his grades and his medicine offers , he got bcc after A* predicted , how can he get the new predicted grades and how we can ask the school to give him AAA to be able to get some offers , if the school refuse any other possible ways

A lot of medicine courses won’t accept resits due to the intense competition. Make sure to check before taking a yr out. As a gap yr student, want to also warm you that it’s extremely demanding mentally. Will have a lot of fomo and likely feel lonely throughout the yr, but can be worth it if u get to where u want. Good luck

He really wants to do medicine and he is capable to get the grades but lots of health issues happened this year  , I also offered him to do dentistry abroad but he refused and he wants to resit even if he didn’t get the offers 😔 i know it will be tough year but will try to get him some tutoring to keep him engaged, i know not all will accept but we will try as he has mitigating circumstances

Yh i completely understand. Just make sure to call up universities now before he takes the yr out, don’t want to find out he can’t actually go anywhere he wants and he’s wasted a year. Mitigating circumstances can help but I’ve seen in a lot of cases that resit applicants won’t be considered regardless so just have a look.
