My GCSEs were 9A*s, 1A.
My AS-levels were AAAA.
Work experience: 4 days of independently obtained hospital placements, 10 days in a government hospital in India, a day in a sarcoma clinic.
Volunteering: Volunteered at a care home for over a year, coaching cricket and tennis to children on a weekly basis.

You could apply to ones that don't really look at the UKCAT too much Birminghams good with your GCSE score and UKCAT score. Also are you planning on doing BMAT? If so try BMAT unis too, I'm doing BMAT and UKCAT. St George's are also a uni that accept that score I think.

Your GCSEs are strong, think about Cardiff, Birmingham, Leicester - you are almost guaranteed an interview. Also, your work experience is good, look at Bristol which is personal statement heavy.

i don't think i'm gonna do the bmat. I find it much harder than the ukcat and a bit riskier considering I'd sit it after the application deadline.

Thats true, theres quite a few UKCAT unis that dont look at UKCAT that much you should apply to those . Yh I know BMAT's a bit risky but you do get better with practice
