exeter do not score gcses, they score predicted/acheived a levels. keele don't either, they score on ps, ucat, sjt and contextual. manchester don't score gcses either.

hey thanks for replying
i only meet widening participation at leicester and UEA. would’ve met leeds but got an A in bio so i’d have to apply via A100 route with access to leeds- ive heard that’s not a good idea plus my UCAT is not it

put leicester and uea down then - unfortunately i don't think you'll have any more good options considering your a level grades and ucat. have you considered resitting?

i would but i’m not sure i could go through doing a level chem again, plus med schools aren’t keen on resits/req A*s if so

waiting to hear back from a remark for psych atm, hoping it gets pushed to an A. ik kent and medway takes AAB so i suppose that’s one more option ? (although not for this yr bc i think they have a UCAT cut off)

contemplating doing another gap year for a better UCAT ahhhh idek atp. just have to see what the future holds !
