Yeah, as mentioned, ask them directly at least with that chance because if referee hadn't given predictive grades at least. All this talk about medicine being almost impossible to get into, it getting in the way of solving what the topic creator asked. I strongly think to ask the uni's directly with the supportive idea that you didn't get the predictive grades in hard, so you should at least try if you really want that. It is normal to run around a lot, almost excessively to get into university in some cases. I did my UCAS, went to different universities for interviews but even after then, I decided to get a course thru clearing and I suppose it was worth it. It wasn't as straightforward as it seems, so it's all not over. Just the UCAS process and someone forgetting to give you the required data which got in the way.
Got loads of time, months of time to sort that out, I would think.
