Aston med school application

I was wondering if i stood a chance in getting in aston university for medicine.
My GCSE grades required are:
Maths- 6
English lang- 7
Biology-7
Chemistry- 7
Physics-6
Spanish - 7

UCAT score is also pretty low (2360 B3), so im doing the BMAT as well, but this school might be my only UCAT choice this year.
I also qualify for Widening Participation, since i live in a quantile 1 polar 4 area.
Does that increase the UCAT and GCSE points allocated?
Thanks.

even with the lower wp cutoff, your score is unlikely to be shortlisted unfortunately

Thanks a lot for your honest reply I really appreciate it!
Apart from the BMAT unis, do you reckon I could apply to any other UCAT ones? (Keele and Sunderland I need 5 7s but I’ve got 4)

You should consider applying for the foundation year course at keele or any other uni (I’m doing the same)

I don't think i qualify for foundation year medicine. I qualify in terms of the contextual criteria you need to meet, but my predicted A levels are too high. It is mainly the UCAT that has messed me up :/
