You could try Bristol if your PS is good, Keele if you have lots of voluntary work and also UEA/Leicester

Bristol is 80% PS and only 8% GCSE
The medic portal did a good article on where to apply with stats like yours so I would check that out

Yes, but GCSE heavy uni's want 8/9 A*s at GCSE so you wouldn't be competitive.

The uni's I'm talking about are Oxford, Edinburgh, Cardiff, QUB and Bham

Liverpool, HYMS, UEA, Keele, Bristol and maybe Aberdeen consider BMAT too.

Well the cut off last year was 650, so it is risky. Unless averages go down or people apply with a lower UKCAT, your UKCAT may not be enough. You could always use it as your risky application and then apply to 3 safe, as long as all your UKCAT sections are above 500. Someone from my college actually got in with a UKCAT of 635 last year which was below the cut off, I don't understand why this is.

What is the GCSE scoring system for UEA?

Thanks for the mention @Jehaan :smile: Here's the aforementioned blog on where to apply with a ukcat score of 600-650. There's still plenty of options - don't worry!

If anyone else is interested we also have info on which unis are good options for higher and lower scores.
