    GCSE Results

    I know there have been about a thousand topics on this but I am really worried about my Gcse results.
    I got
    Physics A
    Maths A
    IT A
    Russian A
    Biology B
    Chemistry B
    English Lang B
    R.E short course B
    English Lit C
    French C
    Graphic Design D (can't draw)
    I know they are very bad but if I get 4 A/A* at A level do I have a chance of getting into a med school or do I have to improve the results dramaticly to even have a chance
    Thanks

    They're fine for medicine. Just avoid the GCSE-heavy unis like B'ham, Cardiff, Oxbridge, KCL, etc. and you should be ok.

    I'd be VERY careful about where you apply to be honest.

    You'll need to apply pretty wisely, but it's still more than possible to get yourself at least one offer. Be helpful if you could get AAA and do well on the UKCAT.

    Would getting A in chemistry and Biology instead of B improve my chances or will I have to get all A's?

    At A-level? I'd suggest all As. Most medical schools have increased their requirements to AAA now anyway.

    No I meant GCSE's. I am not worried about my A-levels. I should be getting good grades

    Well getting Bs in sciences could hold you back at certain institutions.
