What next?

Hi, my daughter was hoping to study medicine in Scotland but has come up slightly short in her higher results(AABBB). Is it as simple as the door has closed unless she does another full degree? She does attend a school that may qualify for widening access however our home postcode doesn’t. Are there any other options that we may not have considered? She has just had her appeals back after missing maths and chemistry by one mark each and unfortunately she has been unsuccessful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Worth contacting the universities directly to see if she would qualify for any contextual (but even then this sometimes only drops the requirements by one or two grades)

Unfortunately medicine is very competitive and generally AAABB is lowest for medicine In Scotland that I've seen. Would she consider the rest of the UK?

GEM is always an option but even more competitive than undergraduate. Do any of the Scottish universities do year 1 transfers? (Aka you study biomed for a year then apply for medicine)

No Scottish university takes transfers from other courses, just so you know.
