Thought you were taking about A2 sorry, AS levels are irrelevant only predictions count. Your predictions just need to be realistic.
Thing is a significant number of applicants will have AAAA at AS and very good GCSEs, so obviously the better the grades the better the chance. A house-mate for next year (we are both 1st years at Cardiff) got AAAB at AS and got in, but remember to be tactical with choices :smile:

Loads of people get in without AAAA at AS.

Do they? A lot of people I have spoken to got AAAA, admittedly they could be lying and the people I have asked is hardly a decent sample size. If so, then my bad :colondollar:

Lots of successful medicine applicants do have AAAA at AS, but the point is that there are also plenty who don't. The grades the OP describes at AS would be fine provided they apply sensibly and get AAA at A2.

Soooooooooo....Im in AS and i think im going to get a AAA minimum at Bio, Chem, Psych.... and i don't know about maths. lucky if i get close to a B...

Whats this about predicted grades, how are they decided and by who? I LOVE BIOLOGY. I LOVE CHEMISTRY. im working for an A* on them two.

I really want to study medicine in london, either Imperial, queen mary's, southampton, kings college, any tips?

I might be being really dense here but I don't think Southampton is in London...

As long as your UKCAT, A2 predicitions and PS are good! You'll just have to steer clear of a few unis if you do get AAAC- don't remember which ones exactly though (Cambridge springs to mind).
AABB here, offers from Newc, Manc and HYMS. The trick is to apply tactically to places which only look at predictions and not your AS. I emailed all of my universities beforehand confirming this. If I'd applied to places like B'ham/Oxbridge/most of London/Edinburgh etc I'd have four rejections. If you're about to sit your AS, get 4 As—it makes everything much easier. But if you don't, you really need to annihilate your UKCAT to have a good chance of getting in.

Good luck.
