• Answer:

  Your GCSE's are nowhere near as important to them as your a levels but if you want to study medicine at Cambridge, or anywhere really, you should be getting a*s. A few a's won't completely tarnish your results but just make sure they're not in science or maths. For a level take at least two sciences, maths and then something like further maths, philosophy and ethics, history, languages, music or preferably another science. For AS you need straight a's with no resits and for a2 youll need either 2 a*s and an a or 1 a* and 2as. On top of that you need a ton of voluntary work and work experience. You will also need to check reading lists for medicine and try and read as much as you can so for interviews you can show off your knowledge and Passion for medicine.Good luck, I'm sure you'll be fine
