Applying to Medicine with a foundation year

Hi. I've just finished my A-Levels and decided to spend one more year before going to uni since the results were disappointing. I have already secured my place at a foundation course for medicine, but the thing is that the progression rate of the course is not high which they say is around 50%~75%. Even though I know it's still high compared to general medical school acceptance rates and I will do my best to get in to the actual medicine course, I can't stop worrying about the possibility of not getting in. So I was wondering if there's any other unis that accept students who have done A-Levels with a foundation grade as I desperately want to go to uni next year. I know UCLan does that (I'm already thinking of applying for those two), but I'm not so sure about the others... mb Brunel? btw I'm an international student, forgot to mention that.

*I thought UoB (Buckingham) medicine also accepts foundation degrees from other unis but apparently it doesn’t…
