So many med schools to choose from!

Hi
I live in Greater Manchester and and looking for a uni which has an integrated or traditional teaching style. I have 9A*s, 1A and 1 B (english language :frown: ) from GCSE. I am also doing an EPQ and expect to get A*AA(a) in A level, but I don't have a massive amount of extra-curricular stuff. Strongly considering Manchester (because i can live with my parents which is easier) and Oxford due to its rep.
Can anyone suggest any other universities that I have a high chance of getting into?

I also just read this post and it offers great help: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3160785

Extra curricula's are important as is work experience for your personal statement.

You need scour the internet and figure out what universities require what in terms of academia, skills, UKCAT/BMAT etc. I recommend you make a spreadsheet or a list to organise yourself and to help you make an educated decision in what medical schools to apply to.

Good luck!
