Hey, I can’t speak for KCL specifically but those stats definitely look like more than enough for most medical schools

Honestly the only thing holding you back are your GCSE grades. They're not bad, but I don't think KCL would accept them to be fair. It's risky, but you could apply and have the other applications to safer unis

hi congrats on amazing stats :smile:

take this w a pinch of salt as i’m no expert but particularly kcl more than like any other uni considers gcses quite heavily for some reason, and not getting any 8s or 9s would hinder your application a lot imo because of the points system they have (you can research abt it online and calculate your points for the gcse section). but your ucat and everything else is amazing so you could maybe make kcl your ambitious offer if you’re really set on it but realistically for your other options, apply to safer or more ucat heavy unis. best of luck!!

they’re not bad on their own at all!!! but just for kcl specifically, i don’t think they’re high enough without sugarcoating. i only know because wheni applied kcl i had to research this stuff and learn about their system. i’m really sorry..but still defo do more research esp if you’re contextual or smth, and you can still apply to it but imho it’s quite a bit unlikely. ://
