Request for advice on shortlist

Any advice for best 4 options from shortlist would be really appreciated.
Stats: predicted A*AA (chem, bio,maths)
GCSE's: 10 9's
UCAT: 3060, Band 2 (VR 800, DM 760, QR 740, AR 740)
Non contextual (also not Welsh)
Prefer not to have mainly lecture based learning
Choosing between Bristol, UEA, Cardiff, Manchester, Birmingham and Belfast. However would be keen to try for one in London and then 3 of the others.
Also keen swimmer, so good sports facilities a bonus.
Thank you

Hello! 🙂
Firstly, well done on those great stats!
Have you been to an open day at UEA? If not I'd highly recommend coming along to one. The next two open days are on the 26th October and 23rd November. You can book your place here. A free train ticket will be provided if you're traveling from far away! Alternatively you can also attend a virtual UEA open day here.

UEA is conveniently located close to a teaching hospital, which allows students to practice real life medicine from the first month of their course, as stated on the UEA website.

If you do come along to an open day, make you head over to the Sportspark for a tour to see the Olympic sized swimming pool. The Sportspark has excellent memberships for UEA students where you can have access to the pool. Alternatively you could join the swimming club at UEA if you are looking to participate in competitions and represent a team.

I hope this helps, please don't hesitate to ask any questions!

Thanks so much Fatma. That's really helpful. I will check out the virtual open day as you suggest and look into attending one of the upcoming open days.
