Medicine with AAA prediction and UCAT 2680 Band 2

Hiya, I am applying for medicine with my predicted grades AAA and a UCAT score of 2680 Band 2, however Im not sure which Universities nearer to London I can apply to. I am applying to St Georges, Anglia Ruskin, East Anglia, and Kent and Medway. My mum wants me to apply to Queen Mary but I don't think I meet the requirements. Should I apply here, and will I get an offer? I have a plus point of having an active, unique story about my own experiences and interest in medicine.

My 5th choice is also Neuroscience at Kings College London because I find that an interesting course and, so if I don't get in Medicine now, I can apply for graduate Med. Is this worth it or should I opt for Biomedical Sciences/Engineering (if so what is better?)

Well, the 1st stage is getting an interview, and then seeing if you get an offer after that. One thing I'd like to point out is why would you go for grad medicine which is even more competitive as there are a lot fewer open spots for post-grad candidates, as opposed to just taking a gap year, doing the UCAT again, and reapplying? Saves you £30k too

What did you apply for in the end? I got similar stats to u last year (3 A's UCAT 2650) and didn't get any UCAT uni offers. Reapplied this year, redid my UCAT and recently firmed st George's. I would strongly advise gap year over grad entry.
