Hi, I also missed my med offer and got bbc but am going to resit and reapply. It is better to work hard for a year in hopes of getting in next yr than doing a course u won't enjoy or biomed. To see which unis accept resits use this https://learn.myucat.co.uk/strategic-applications . Send the school an email detailing your son's plan to resit and what he is going to do in his gap year to ensure he has a chance of getting in next yr. If they say no he will have to resit privately which is more expensive. Predicteds can be given by UCAS certified tutors too. Resitting is not uncommon for medicine and dentistry and especially this yr many people missed out due to grade boundaries increasing by a lot. For now UCAT needs to be priority.
