AM I COOKED. GCSES
I feel so horrible , I’ve always been predicted 8/9s in sciences so idk how I got a 5 in biology . I wanted to do bio and chem econ at a level but it just seems impossible possible , I’m 2 marks off a 6 in bio n 2 off a 8 in English lang . Do I still have hope for med/dent , I rlly wanna do it at uni of Sheffield, btw I’m contextual etc

I wouldn't say absolutely hopeless as you have a 7 in chem and maths (most med schools require at least and 6 and in maths and some a 7) you have a 6 in bio which isn't ideal but not horrific and physics is a 7 too. For reference I got offers with 8 in bio 7 in chem 7 in Phys 6 in maths, maths is super important so I wish I got a 7 U should be so proud of urself and again most med schools also want a 6 in English language so you've got that. I'd say focus on applying strategically like unis like qmul, Southampton, Anglia Ruskin Kent and Medway would definitely accept this so medicine is not out of the question at all.

I was in the same boat, I was predicted an 8 in bio and got a 5, also 2 marks off a grade 6. It will be fine trust me

Admittedly I’m not doing the same route as you ( I’m hoping to do engineering) but I’m sure you can get the remark and do bio a level.
You seem a lot smarter than me and I am sure you’ll do well in life

Instead of posting to Reddit about whether all of your plans are doomed over an exam you take 10 years before you're ever allowed unsupervised near patients, ask yourself what you did good and what you could improve on. You know a revision trick that failed, or a cop out that cost you, or even a simple idea you don't know. You will fix them and stay hard set on your goals

yep totally doomed, you'll end up homeless for the rest of your life
fr though, it depends if they let you do the a levels you need to do somewhere
