If you used Clearing in 2024, how did you find it?

Universities with 2510 ucat score- Medicine

Hi,
I was getting 2700s-2930 while practising in the last 3 weeks of my prep but I took the exam yesterday and ended up getting 2510, band 2.
GCSEs: 9999999887
Expected predicted grades: A*A*A - A*AA
Which universities can I apply to with this score for Medicine?

I was thinking of applying in London before but I am now open to other unis but prefer unis closer to London/ russel grp

I did some research and am now considering Keele, Brunel, Exeter and do I stand a chance for Cardiff[I would like to go there]?
Could anyone please advise on that?

Yes and maybe look into Cardiff, QUB, Birmingham and Aston too ( you could also look at Leicester and Lincoln’s point system to see if you could apply to either of those)

I think I am eligible but they are not clear but I hope so I’m more worried about what Ucat they accept cause mine was not amazing

Cardiff is risky
Exeter usually want 3A*s just based on the scoring system last year

I have a friend who got in last year with 2520 he did Sunderland (lots of volunteering) kcl emdp(contextual and non selective school)
I think he had lower GCSEs than you as well and similar predicteds

He is in med school this year
Just be strategic

Exeter - unfortunately no. Your A predicted grades and UCAT is very risky of not getting selected for interview. Ideally a 3A* predicted is needed

Cardiff - unless you are/have Welsh domicile, otherwise the general consensus is not to apply there.

Keele and Brunel is fine.

If you want more suggestions - post to https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7312527 following the structure of page 1 of the post, listing your GCSE, A, unis researched etc
