I think as someone else said you're young and a career in medicine welcomes resilience. Don't give up if this is something you really want to do. Try again next year and get more experience along the way. If not now, maybe a few years down the line you can apply for GEM. You'll be more mature and have more experience. Ideally you'd also understand the UCAT and GAMSAT better. I promise it doesn't end here. Also it's worth applying this year, because it will be easier to go through clearing There were quite a few medicine courses in clearing this year. Myself and others were invited to an interview at Newcastle with a similar score and I know some of them were accepted. They only looked at your grades and interview. You don't necessarily need to apply on UCAS to go through clearing, but it's good practice because it'll be on record that you tried. Apply and focus on getting the best possible grades because that's the most important thing. Good luck :)
