UCL medicine and Imperial

I applied to both UCL and Imperial medicine. I got 998887777766 in my GCSEs but 2 of the 9s were resits in English language and Physics. My UCAT is 3100 Band 1, and I applied with predicted grades of A* A* A*
Are my chances good ?

So UCL have said this is the first year to use UCAT so they have no historical data. No one can tell you your chances for an interview let alone an offer. You will be ranked based on everyone else so if their scores are straight 9s and high UCAT then who knows.

This is exactly the same for imperial.

It’s a case of waiting and finding out how everyone else performed for rankings

with a UCAT score that high, you almost can't not get an interview, especially the band 1. Don't know about the grades as I am not english so they might bring it down but I would say for now just focus on interview practice as much as you can 👍️

i’m not sure how they view gcses, but your ucat is amazing so i don’t see why they wouldn’t at least interview you
I don’t know about for medicine specifically, but i think it says on the imperial website that they want mainly 7-9s at GCSEs (which you technically have but idk if they accept gcse resits)

I’ve actually emailed Imperial med, they said they accept GCSEs resits as they do not consider GCSEs for any part of the selection process. Not very sure how UCL views GCSEs so that’s mainly why I was asking
