HELP NEEDED FOR CHOICE OF COLLEGES - 2017 Entry

Hi everyone! I will be applying to the Medical schools in the United Kingdom this cycle and have been pondering over the choices of schools. I am very keen to apply to the London based schools such as Imperial College London, University College London etc. At the same time, I wish to apply to the University of Oxford or University of Cambridge. Based on my entrance exam scores and my predicted results, can someone help me narrow down my choices?

IB (predicted) - Maths HL - 7 ; Physics HL - 7 ; Biology HL - 7 ; Chemistry HL - 7 ; English AL - 7 ; Hindi BL - 6.
Total Predicted - 44 out of 45.

I had completed the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) which is an Indian based curriculum before pursuing my IB. This is equivalent to the GCSEs.
CBSE - Maths,Physics,Chemistry,Biology,English,Hindi - 10 Cumulative Grade Point Average out of a total 10 possible. (10/10).

I have written the UKCAT as well - 810 average.
Verbal Reasoning - 780
Quantitative Reasoning - 850
Abstract Reasoning - 800
Situational Judgement - Band 1

I will be sitting for the BMAT exam in November. Apart from this, I have various research and work shadowing experience. I also have loads of sports participation and other extracurricular activities.
Please help me out here. Thank you very much!

Hi! Thank you for the reply. Since my UKCAT score is pretty ok, I was planning to apply to Kings College London as my fourth choice. And for my third choice, I was confused as in to apply to Oxbridge or another UKCAT college such as Queen Mary. I heard that the Oxbridge is really competitive, and being an International student, the cut off is really high and therefore is really tough to get accepted into. I do not want to waste a choice if that's the case. This is the confusion I have been having. I also do not have any contacts in these universities.
Can you please elaborate and help me choose the best for International Students? How is the acceptance rate at ICL and UCL for international students?

Good morning

Yes, Oxford and Cambridge are both very competitive to get into. All Medical Schools in the UK have a very limited number of international places - ranging from roughly 10 - 60 or so - depending on where you're applying!

Attached is a doc listing UK Med Schools and the numbers of international places they have available. Some we haven't been able to get in touch with (just a couple ), but you can always just give the admissions offices a telephone to double check.

Hope you find it useful!
