What score did you get?
Maybe other factors might help your application

This time last year I was in the exact same position, I got 2460 B1, and I knew it wasnt good enough for London unis unfortunately, however there are many other med skls out of uni which are great for medicine. I applied and got offers for med so its still possible. I applied for Keele Uni, Lincoln Med (apart of Uni of Notts for 2025 entry), Uni of Sunderland. Got offers for Lincoln, Sunderland post interview and rejected from Keele pre interview lol. So u can 10000000% get into med, the skls I applied for had no UCAT requirements as far as i can remember.

UCAT does not have a pass/fail mark.
Post your stats as per the format in the first post on the Which medical school thread and people will try to advise

Check University of Belfast, if you got like 2.2k u’d probs get an interview. Many other unis as well like Keele so don’t lose hope

You aren't the first person to have a less than stellar UCAT score and you certainly won't be the last. You can relax a bit. Sometimes it just goes wrong on the day. It's no big deal. You now have another year to prepare for it, practice and develop yourself or focus on other studies.

Heard that you need over 3k or above in UCAT points and B1 to get into medicine school, I think it was a Reddit post. Is this true? Got me a bit scared.

Don't use Reddit as a source 🤣🤣🤣. It's not an accurate indication of anything, as long as you get around 2400 (or even lower in some unis) above there is a possibility you will get an interview from a medical school in the UK as long as your predicted grades and work experience is up to par

Oh ok. When I was younger and looking into UCAT, some idiot told me you had to get full 3.6k and B1 to get into Oxford 😒

Hii,
I am looking to apply to those exact universities!
Do you have any useful tips or how you believe you got an interview?
I would be grateful if you wouldn't mind sharing your statistics.
Where else did you apply?
I am confused about whether to apply to Keele or Sunderland.
My stats are
AAB predicted, 2570 Band 1, 99888888(6 in Eng Lit + 5 in French)
Do you know any other good options? Places that need AAA are fine too - I might be able to get that B up.
