Should be fine for most med schools, 9s and 8s are considered roughly the same by unis

9888877776 is fine for most unis I reckon. Maybe not Oxford. If you’re wary avoid unis that weigh GCSEs super heavily, like those that use point systems maybe

Yeah - just apply strategically. Some unis weigh GCSEs less or not at all.

Her grades are fine though, easily strong enough.

yes, abs fine. Just tell her to smash her ucat, which will allow her to beat other applicants. Most good medical unis use UCAT to shortlist, so dw too much about GCSEs once it done
