Applying for medicine as a graduate with A level resits

Hi, I have just finished my degree in pharmacy at the University of birmingham having gotten a 2.1 with honours. I want to apply for undergrad medicine (5 years) because I think it'll be easier (relatively speaking) than the graduate entry medicine courses. I was hoping to apply to Birmingham again. I had to resit my A levels however, taking 3 years in total, having attained AAB in the end in History, Biology and Chemistry respectively (I didn't need to resit history). I am hoping to do my UCAT around September time. Is it worth applying to Birmingham? Are there any other medical schools you would recommend? I only really have time to revise for the UCAT and no other tests since I will be starting my pre-reg year this year. Thank you for any advice given!!
