    do i stand a chance

    am 20 years old this is an overview of my qualifications.
    G.C.S.E -- 2 A, 5B and 2D
    A level CDD in chemistry , maths and Biology
    Access to medicine; overall distinctions, with an a merit in biology and a project and cowa.
    applying for manchester 6yr, bristol 6yr leeds 5yr and liverpool 5yr.
    i know i have poor academic grades for my a levels, in my defence the school i attended had a really poor pass rate, but i should have worked hard .
    1. should i add my a levels to my current application or just leave them?
    2. should i even bother applying?
    3. should i add the fact that am doing biomed first year?

    The vast majority of med schools don’t accept access to medicine applicants who sat science a-levels and didn’t get the required grades for medicine, i.e. access courses can not be taken as ‘A-level re-sits’. I don’t know of a single med school that don’t take this view – although there might be a few. My college would not let people on the access course who sat science a-levels and didn’t get good enough grades for that very reason. So my gut reaction is to say to you don’t whatever you do mention your a-levels, but that maybe being dishonest and if they found out?! I just realised that by now you will have already applied?! What did you decide to do? There is always biomed and graduate entry if the a-levels prove a huge problem
