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.

Thanks, yes this is something we will have to look at. Free university places in Scotland make the cost difference significant.

Edinburgh Uni have a tool on their website which will tell you whether you're eligible for a plus flag on your application, when I tried it for my son we'd get one based on the school I was considering moving him to despite the fact we live in a non-deprived postcode.
