Which uni to apply to

Hi, my son has just got UCAT 2920 SJT 1 and is predicted 3As in Chem, Bio and Maths in A Levels. He has 1xA*, 4x9s, 2x8s, 3X6s in GCSEs incl maths, english and sciences.
He's keen Medicine A100 at KCL and B'ham, but we are not sure as the thresholds are forever changing...which unis should he apply to please? Any tips, advice much appreciated! ps. He unfortunately does not meet the contextual criteria.

With a UCAT score that good as his, he can pretty much apply anywhere! Very well done to him. (You will have to look into the GCSE requirements for the ones that he likes because some will ask for 7 GCSES at a 7 or above). The best ones would be ones that rank UCAT only, Bristol is one and then Edge Hill, Newcastle and Sheffield. For KCL, need to make sure he has good work experience and extra curriculars as well as leadership experience as everyone applying has such a high score that it's the personal stuff that sets people apart at interview. Also yeah, interview super important, get practicing together now!
