I'd love some advice on which med schools to apply to with a low UCAT Got 2420 SJT band 1, predicted A*A*A, GCSEs were 4 grade 9, 7 grade 8. I will apply for Cardiff but am stuck on where else might consider me. I've an Exeter score of 78 (too low??), I'm too low for Birmingham and Nottingham...QUB I scored 34/42, is this too low for interview? Lincoln I scored 122 points. Aston I got 24 points. Any advice? And apologies if this is on the wrong thread, I'm a newbie.

Definitely think of doing the BMAT as it is a GCSE-based test that can be revised for unlike the UCAT. For the low UCAT I would consider places such as Keele, Hull York Medicine and the University of Sunderland. It isn't over just because of a bad UCAT, just try to apply strategically after doing your fair share of research.
