Your worst case scenario results are incredible especially for the difficulty of the subjects, and the fact you did 4 a levels not 3 and still got AABB is crazy. And your going kcl med school which is what I’m hoping to do. You’re an inspiration!
So trueee- God is guiding your steps 🔥 I’m glad you’ve reflected and realised that, you’re meant to be at your insurance choice, and I’m sure you’ll have so much impact there ❤
im sorry that the day was so stressful for you love!! i also didn't get what i was hoping for but still managed to get into my firm uni, just remember that KCL is such an amazing school and you're gonna have the best time no matter what xx
I’m feeling a little inspired so I’m gonna briefly share my ongoing A-level journey. At the beginning of 2022, freshly out of secondary I chose my 3 options, Maths, Engineering Design and Physics A level. At the summer mocks at the end of year 12 I got CDU, for my courses. I was feeling pretty hopeless, just didn’t really know what to do. So I decided to take a gamble at beginning of year 13, redo Yr12. However this time scrap Physics and Engineering design and take Bio and Chem alongside Maths. The only thing I can say is that this was the best decision I have ever made since then. I’m happier, I’m more content, I feel more fulfilled, I don’t feel lost anymore! I was even able to get 3A’s at the y12 summer mocks 🥳 The craziest thing is that I saved myself from the abysmal Physics AQA exam this year. I can only just thank God again and again. Who knows what would have happened if I continued on the original path??
OMG THATS AMAZING!!! I’m so happy for you, God really is so good!!! I wish you all the best with Year 13 and your future studies - you’ll do great!! ❤️🙌🏾🫶🏾
I acknowledge your frustration. Zero gaslighting. I pray thay you will give yourself grace to move beyond this phase. It is a phase - albeit difficult. You are where you are meant to be. Trust & believe that your name was written on Kings. It is well! I'm proud of you young queen. The world is your oyster.
I know this sounds hard I think you’ll be better off at Kings. I maybe biased as I live in London. Big hugs to you. Sometimes life takes weird pathways. God laughs a lot at mine. Your results are amazing, you should be very proud. The exam boards suddenly decided to put up the boundaries. It was outrageous. Good luck at Kings. Onwards and upwards.
I’m not a religious person myself but the way you walked about your faith in this video was so lovely, I’m so glad that you have your religion and your god to help you through hard times and reassure you that things happen for a reason and you are on the right path. As I said I’m not part of a religion myself but I have always found comfort in the thought that in some way the universe does have a plan for me and that all things happen for a reason, but we do still have to work hard for those things to come true🫶
You got a place... well done... You can't control what you can't control..Dont worry why/what etc and rejoice on your success..Focus on what's head! a fun ride. Enjoy Med School!
Please don't despair. Just keep going. You've already come this far. At my first attempt I got DDEE grades due to leaving college to take up full-time employment to help my family (financial difficulties). I was constantly being rejected even in jobs requiring good A-Level grades. I then decided to be strong and retake my exams. A year later, I got A*A*A*A*. Now, the same employers have recently made attempts to contact me for jobs. So it can all change. Just don't give up in life, keep on going.
@@helloitssharon From my own personal experience, I'd recommend you retake your exams. You're already extremely close to achieving 4 A* grades in your A-Levels. Don't give up now. Just go for it. You've got this. It's entirely up to you how you'd feel about retaking exams but it might be the best decision.
I did 4 AS subjects this year and I'm going into yr13 in September. I knew i needed to drop one between History and English and because I was predicted 4 As, i was ready to drop English but something kept telling me to reconsider. Fast forward to results day, I got AAAC with a C in History which was always my best subject. I was shocked. I'd never gotten anything less than an A so to get a C made me so upset. Then I saw that not only did I get an A in English, but I got 117/120 overall and I got full marks on one of my papers! I didn’t remember the exams going that well so it came as such a surprise to me. When I checked the grade boundaries before getting my results, I told myself there was no way I would get an A in English and I had made plans to drop it. Seeing that I did so well in it and not as well in History really confused me but I'm taking it as God clearly showing me what I'm meant to be doing. I did not anticipate that it would work out that way but it was a great reminder that God is always on my side, especially after having some doubts about my faith over time.
I love this so much! Yes, God is always on your side even when you might not know or understand what He’s doing - AAAC is amazing and this is only AS so hopefully next year you do even better!! Wishing you all the best with year 13 and your future studies, you’ve got this! ❤️🫶🏾
Hey Sharon, you are so blessed and highly favoured. God knows and He has you covered. Doing Medicine at Kings College is a big achievement 🎉 Congratulations 🎉and God is gonna open doors for you from there! grant you the desires of your heart and your husband maybe in Kings and not in Glasgow. I am sorry for the roller coaster of emotions you’ve but through it all you are certainly learning to trust in Jesus, look at you 🥰 seeing and embracing the bigger picture. I know you’ll be doing great things, your parents must be super proud of you as they have done well raising you. God bless you all 🙏🏾💕🥰
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you!!! I’m honestly so glad because this whole experience has really strengthened my faith and hopefully everything is working together for my good ❤️🫶🏾🥹
A surgeon who trained in Kings College London saved my life in a hospital in Dublin 8 years ago. This was after I discharged myself from another hospital in another Irish county where the surgeon told me she wasn’t going to do anything for me! I could have bled to death if I hadn’t ignored her!
Hiya! I'm also going to King's for Bsc Neuroscience after getting my results. I'm so glad to hear you got into medicine ❤ I also want to do medicine one day as well, but I will probably go the graduate entry route. Good luck for the next stage of your life and congrats for getting into med school 🎉🎉 thats a HUGE achievement!
I feel you, just know that you're not alone. My worst case scenario also came true but I'm starting to see how maybe York is a better fit for me than Imperial would be. ahaha love that quote, people plan and God laughs. It's so true.
Congratulations!! I found this video so comforting, similar scenario for me but just for vet med !! I was initially sad abt my grades since i found the exams went well, and that i missed out on my firm...but so so glad my firm accepted me even though i was a grade below their offer 😅 Genuinely believe that god planned it all out and just like you was left feeling shocked but in awe of gods plans and ability, and now i can call myself a veterinary student :D Once again hugeee Congratulations, future doc go show kings whos boss !!!
I think more people are getting accepted into universities with lower grades due to less demand for places due to a decrease of international students I think?
Sending you so so much love and hugs I am so so sorry that results day has been difficult but you can get through anything and are amazing no matter what happens 🩷🩷🩷🩷
god works in mysterious ways he knows what is best for you and even though i know we are from different religions (im muslim)it warms my heart to see this and i wish you the absolute best in your future
Honestly I really do commend you for pursuing medicine, it’s a horrible application process and they make it so incredibly hard for people to get a place - I wish you all the best and hopefully next year everything works out you for! You’ve got this 🫶🏾
It just really depends on whether or not they’ve met their numbers. If they have, they’re not going to accept equivalencies. KCL had a whole programme scrapped so needed to make up the numbers with UGs and so they’ve accepted more near misses than they usually do.
Yeah, I even heard that last year KCL had to enter clearing for medicine for the first time ever so it makes sense that this year they were more lenient too!
Could you do a life science subject like biomedical or another subject and then transfer to Medicine after some good grades in your first year? Might be a lot cheaper than doing the degree then medicine. I got the same grades 20yrs ago and went to UCL but now I'm in the Legal side. Don't worry you will all be ok.
Wow wow glory to God. This literally is only by the work of God. Plus you have a new subscriber - can't wait to watch ur videos as a KCL medical student..
Hi, congratulations!!! I'm entering year 13 this year and I'm applying to kcl. Are you doing the EMDP course or the 5-year course? And if you don't mind me asking what was your UCAT score that made you get in. Thanks
Girl. listen to me, though you made me cry, but listen, you did very great very well.oooo my God, u did very well . Also, remember God wants for us more than we want for ourselves let the wills of God be Done he knows better . He want for us more than we want for ourselves.
Yes but they don’t have to do equivalencies if they’ve met their intake numbers. Contractually they’re only obligated to take you if you’ve met or exceeded their offer and it’s done on each grade basis not whether the ups and downs cancel each other out.
Yeah, Glasgow is a pretty small medical school and they have a very selective applications process anyways - they don’t do clearing for medicine and have quite a low acceptance rate so it’s unfortunate but I understand their logic even though I don’t agree 🫶🏾
i can recommend some accomodation. It's in SE1, around a half hour drive and a 40 minute journey by train to KCL. you can reach out to me if you want the location.
Hi there Sharon ik u did a levels and I’m aspiring to do medicine but in my case my maths grade is only at a grade 5 and can’t progress onto science a levels but have also heard abt these med w foundation yr courses and thinking of taking on the btec biomed science which is equiavalent to 3 a levels at sixth form do u still think this is a good idea plus I’m afraid I’ll be judged as it’s a btec and not a levels. Would mean so much to me to hear from u thx ❤
YES - I wish someone had told me this before doing medicine, there are courses called “gateway to medicine” and a lot of unis offer this!! Check each uni specifically but I know they do accept btec equivalents as these courses are made specifically for people who haven’t done A Levels but still want to get into Medicine! It’s definitely possible to get into Med with a levels but it’s just a slighter harder route so I would research gateway courses and email admissions to double check if your specific course would be accepted! Wish you all the best 🫶🏾❤️
@@NEMOKTN5 These courses are likely to be more competitive than regular medicine courses as people with low UCAT scores & lower predicted grades at A Level will also be applying to gateway courses to try to get into medicine, as well as people taking btecs.

Grade boundaries are decided after all papers are marked, so your grade is relative to other pupils performances not to a notional grade mark. So grade boundaries cannot break you-your exam performance relative to others broke you. Too many pupils and teachers don't understand this. That is why using previous years grade boundaries for mocks etc is pointless.
I completely understand what you’re saying, however during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, grades were inflated massively. For the past two years exam boards have been raising grade boundaries in order to reduce the number of students receiving the top grades. It is unfair to blame my exam performance and not consider the grade boundaries or take into the account the effects of sitting exams post-pandemic 🙏🏾
@@helloitssharon Grade boundaries are only raised relative to outcomes from that exam entry-they aren't raised and then pupils have to reach them. In effect more pupils did better than you in this years entry and that pushed your grade down. So one year 70% could get an 'A' if that is the within the highest marks that year, next year 70% might only get a 'C' if many entries get higher marks. I taught for 30+ years btw.
Sorry you didn't get what you wanted btw! Just trying to explain why the 'grade boundary' myth (often spread by teachers who don't understand the system) is inaccurate.
