Where to apply for med

Need a little bit of advice where to apply with a UCAT score if 2730 B2. I know it’s average but I was wondering is it better to apply to places like keele and Sunderland who don’t consider it much as I have a decent amount of volunteering and WEX or is better to apply to places that consider that UCAT in part with the PS.
Thx

keele consider ucat along with ps, so may be a good option as long as your ps matches their specification. keele and cardiff are the only med schools that consider ps in their shortlisting. look at plymouth, edge hill, liverpool, maybe aru. if you have excellent gcses look at aston, qub, and maybe hyms. what gcse grades did you get? are you contextual?
