Does anyone have any tips about what I can do between now and my A-Levels to help me secure a place?
The only thing you can't choose is your parents. They determine your genetics and your passport. Get yourself a class one medical to be sure there isn't anything underlying or undiagnosed that might stop you pursuing your dream. There's no point in telling you to study hard etc.. Between GCSEs and A Levels don't fall into the trap of thinking you need to go to university - you don't. You can get a degree any time in life.
