Oh god, I totally agree with you on that.
If he could have done the undergraduate entry then he would have. He didn't choose to go the long expensive way around he had to because he didn't get the grades needed for his conditional offer.

I wouldn't recommend choosing to do a graduate entry, I was just pointing out that it is always an option. This is what my friend is planing to do now because his GCSE grades have let him down.

My brother will have quite a lot of debt and he will be 25 when he graduates but he has said it was 100% worth it because being a doctor is all he has ever wanted to be.

You could always apply for both courses and have biological sciences as a back up in case you don't get accepted for medicine and then you can do the graduate entry medicine. I wouldn't choose to do a graduate entry degree but it is a good back up option.
