GEM 2026 as an international student

Hello guys!
I’m an int student about to finish my neuro+immunology degree from sydney uni. I am sitting GAMSAT, MCAT and UCAT this year and applying for GEM 2026 entry.
For reference, I did IBDP with non science subjects for my last year of hs.
The schools I’m aiming for include QMUL, UniMelb, KCL, USyd, Manchester, Newcastle, RCSI Dublin and NUS Duke.
I’m studying for GAMSAT from the Acer website and doing practise tests for UCAT on Medify + Kaplan prep for MCAT.
I really want to get into med school next year so any advice would be appreciated as I feel overwhelmed :smile:

Also as I would have a one year gap between end of my degree and start of my supposed med school (if I get in lol) I decided to apply for MSc in neuroscience as I didn’t want to sit at home for one whole year
I got offers from KCL (clinical neuropsychiatry), QMUL (MSc neuroscience), Royal Holloway (MSc neuroscience) and Uni Birmingham.
I’m especially torn between KCL and QMUL as I like the program at QMUL better but scrolling through this forum I think KCL has a much better reputation? :frown:

Also sorry if this is a stupid question since I don’t know much, but would doing my MSc at a university I’m aiming for GEM in increase my chances?
Any advice appreciated!
Thank you :biggrin:
