Don't be so harsh on yourself, you can apply to pretty much any university with your grades, what are you planning to study? Medicine?
It all depends on a very strong personal statement and such. You could definitely be considered for Oxbridge.

Thank you first, and I've done my research. :smile:

You've pretty much listed all the ones you can't apply to in the original post, I can't think of any others, except Kings maybe. Good luck.

Thank you first, and I've done my research, Oxbridge is out of the question - I'll be one of the lower applicants and really I'd like as big a chance as anyone else if not better. :smile:

Which is why I'm applying to Liverpool - because I have maximum points. I might apply to Queens Belfast but it's in Ireland. :\

Hi mate, just to say that you shouldn't consider Oxford, as they want minimum 60% of your GCSE grades to be A*, although Cambridge assess your application as a whole, so if you rape the BMAT / your AS UMS, you could still have a very decent shot at it :smile:

Also, Kings if you get (I'd say 750+) UKCAT :smile:

You can go wherever you want with those GCSEs to be honest, if you whack in loads of work for A levels.

Thanks for the advice, but if you read my original post you'd see that I've said that I'm not planning on any BMAT universities, so, not Cambridge. :wink:

Any others you would recommend?

Southampton want 7 A*-B grades + 620+ UKCAT if you want a decent shot at not getting a straight rejection - they don't interview school-leaver applicants for the A100 course, only mature (over 21) students.

Keele want minimum 4 A grades (GCSE) + Their standard offer is 360 UCAS points (AAA or A*AB, you can't have lower than a B in any subject, so no A*A*C offers).

I wouldn't apply to Leicester if I were you, unless you get 700+ UKCAT.

Barts is good, minimum 600 average UKCAT, and they rank you for interview based on your UCAS points prediction, max. being 560 points (A*A*A*A*), so I'd advise you not to apply there unless you have minimum A*AAA predictions.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

By the way, have a look at: Medical School GCSE Requirements for more info.

What were your 2 A* in, as some places specify A* in English Language / Maths?
