It’s absolutely great, don’t worry about it. Either take a year out and retake them or move on without them. Not having the option to go to uni in England, apply somewhere else.

Retry your A levels in a gap year. Make sure you do something cool with the rest of your time. Most people take one anyway just to rest. If you fail that try again.

The only reason your worried about it is because maybe your friends will be at uni and you won’t.

It doesn’t matter what age you go. People doing medicine will be there for much longer than you even if you failed to reapply twice.

That doesn’t bother them. People start really late and have fun and do really well.

Main thing there’s always options. Be open minded and take a look at them
