Where to apply with a poor UCAT score

my daughter got 2550 in her UCAT - a bad day for her. She has 10x9grades at GCSE and is predicted 3 A* for Bio, Chem and PsychShe has some med related work exp as well as coaching, mentoring, volunteering and playing high level hockey. Am I right in thinking the only med schools she can consider given UCAT are HYMS, Keele, Kent and Medway, Plymouth, Sunderland?? Is it worth giving Cardiff a shot? and I read Exeter only put 25% weighting on UCAT - is this really t rue?Thanks in advance for your help @ganfydd and any others that reply

Yes Exeter do put 25% weighting on UCAT https://www.themedicportal.com/blog/where-to-apply-with-a-low-ucat-score/
See https://www.themedicportal.com/blog/where-to-apply-with-an-average-ucat-score/ as this website says average is 2500

From https://www.ucat.ac.uk/results/test-statistics/
We can approximate 2550 to be around the 6th decile, so is not a poor UCAT score
