You stand a reasonable chance at the universities which focus on high UKCAT scores, such as the likes on Manchester and Newcastle I think, you seems like you have a reasonably strong application, paired with a high score in UKCAT, I guess you could apply to most medicine schools. Although do keep in mind that GEM is very competitive, and there are many universities, such as Birmingham which only consider applicants with a First in the first degree, due to the sheer number of applications they receive :smile:
Good luck

This question is better answered by sitting down and actually looking through medical school websites (there aren't many) instead of expecting other people to do your dog work.

Indeed.

Or using the wikis

http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki/Applying_to_Medical_School_using_your_Strengths

Or reading through the forums where this kind of question has been asked many times. In fact there is a whole thread about it http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1043586

Already done that. I've shortlisted 5 universities.

However, was just asking for a second perspective.

Perhaps say that in your original post and list your shortlist and people can point out anything you might not have thought of
