Help - I didn't do so well at GCSE, can I still apply for medicine?

Of course you can! Not all universities necessarily stress on GCSE's. It also depends on how 'bad' is bad, if you've undertaken any re-sits, how well you are doing, volunteering etc. Birmingham and Oxford for example, particularly like having a high standard of GCSE; others only stress on Chemistry and 5 'passes'. Besides, entry to medicine is a crazy roller coaster - wait till you here my story!
