Looking for some guidance/advice

Posted: 14 Feb 2014 05:50 PM PST

Hello, I am sure you get these threads all of the time, and in fact I just checked the one created by Kalabizo.. but I am looking more for some confirmation/reassurance I am choosing the best route to try to successfuly enter Medical School.

I am a 28 year old student, and have other qualifications but all in the humanities field. So after a few months of research and looking at different entries into medicine I have decided to completely start afresh.

I am going to go back to college in September to completely retake my A-Levels. I am going to take Chemistry, Biology, Psychology and 4th undecided.

I have recently applied to do voluntary work within the NHS, and I have also already began studying for the UKcat.

I felt this way the best way instead of going for GEM and taking a Gamsat.

Do you think this might be the best way, or should i just go for graduate entry?

Any help would be appreciated.
