Yea, I agree. I know I come off as a massive geek who studies bucket loads for great grades, but it is important to understand they'll only matter as far as getting into a college. And what college you get in will probably only matter uptil what your first job is. From there on, it doesn't matter. It's all you. Grades just make that first step easier.End of the day, it is only exams. There is so much more you can achieve in life without exam grades. Of course they are useful, but in the workplace, it is experience in that career path, not exam grades which they look for.
School grades will not allow you to make the most of opportunities, that is down to you. School grades give you a platform to work off, rest is on your own. I have a lot of family members who are successful despite struggling in school or getting through colleges, they worked hard, took opportunities that came to them, and became successful. School grades barely mattered.You need good exam scores to get into the best schools - which will allow you to make the most of your opportunities and life.
I think to get into Cambridge it is 7 A* at GCSE. To get into Medicine, you need a minimum of 6 A at GCSE.I think it's something like 7 A* at GCSE to do Medecine here at Uni.
You need just 7 A*s to get into Medicine at Camebridge? Damn, I would have made it![]()
