How competitive are Biomedical degrees?

I'd imagine so due to the huge influx of rejected doctors who put biomed as a back up

If you say so but they would likely to apply for top universities which OP is not applying to. Medicine candidates have very high predicted grades ie AAA

--------------------

Anyway which universities are not considered as "top"?
Well I suppose top universities would be really competitive!

I went to Manchester open day and they said they get like 4000+ applications alone for Life sciences department e.g. Biomedical, Biochemistry, Microbiology etc. Also apparently due to the broad nature of Biomedical science degree, it is more popular than narrowed and specified subjects such as Microbiology, Cell biology, Pharmacology. Why? Because people are not sure what type of sciences they want to do anyway and also you can transfer (in manchester) from biomed to e.g. microbiology after the first year you have decided which area interests you the most. But then again Manchester would be considered as a top uni?

Yeah that's what I was thinking it might be less because not so many medical 'rejects' and by not top I mean Polytechnics such as Manchester Met, so much lower grades (about BBC/BBB)... Don't know if it's worth it though due to having no work experience and not the best grades or predictions...
