Hiya there!

Thanks for reaching out. What a great set of predicted grades - you must have worked really hard to get those!

It looks like both BioMed courses from ICL and KCL ask for AAA, which your predicted grades exceed. You would have to double check the required subjects but it looks like both ask for As in bio and chem which from your PGs seem well within your reach. So based on that I would say you could make a very competitive application and these choices sound realistic for you. Just remember that as they're also still 2 grades below your PGs you could possibly afford to select a choice with a higher requirement if you wish to.

There is a lot more to an application than grades however. You also need to make sure you get as much support as you can for your personal statement as unis will look at this too, and tell your unis about any mitigating circumstances you may have.

I really hope this helps and huge best of luck with this year!

Unis generally try to consider all factors and make a fair and balanced decision. However how much weighting put on each element does vary from uni to uni and so if you are unsure, then the best thing to do would be to ring or email their admissions teams with your worries and hopefully they can give you more advice and reassure you. I'm confident that you will have a great chance but they will be the best ones to advise you on your individual circumstances.

Best of luck
