Which universities should I apply to for Medicine admissions for 2025?

UCAT didn't go as well as planned so my stats are as follows:

GCSEs - 999999888775
A-Levels (Predicted) - A*A*A*
UCAT - 2640 B1

I am eligible for contextual admissions, but don't know where I would be more suited to apply. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Could look at keele / Exeter / UEA; best to post this in https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7312527&p=98052693

Afaik hull york requires minimum AAB; you already have more; your GCSEs are alright, they score points for them all, im not sure of the cut off for 2024 OP that is something you can look at in the official thread

Hi there,

Given your strong GCSEs, A-Level predictions, and a solid UCAT score of 2640 B1, you could still consider applying to some competitive universities. For example, UEA could be a great option. We take a holistic approach to admissions, meaning we look at your entire application, not just your UCAT. More info here: https://www.uea.ac.uk/course/undergraduate/mbbs-medicine.

Plus, we place a lot of emphasis on clinical experience; from year one students get real patient exposure, integrating theoretical knowledge with practical skills in state-of-the-art facilities at Norwich and Norfolk Teaching Hospital. UEA also offers a welcoming campus in Norwich, with a strong support system for students.

We've got our open day on the 26/10, feel free to register here: https://www.uea.ac.uk/visit/uni-open-days

Best of luck,
