am I being too risky with king's college GEM

submitted my application a few days ago, i applied for KCL GEM (london), QMUL/barts GEM, swansea and pears cumbria. but now i'm considering substituting london KCL for portsmouth KCL though, maybe two london unis are too risky with my ucat?
stats: 2950 B1 ucat (91st percentile), predicted first class in biomedical science, experience volunteering in my local hospital. any opinions or should i stick with KCL london?
