Can I still apply ?

I am a gap year student just finished my UCAT on 1 week prep and I got 1600 band 4, can I still apply to unis for straight medicine or foundation years, my back up is to go abroad but I don’t want to it’s the last thing on the back of my mind. I’m also resitting chem bio and maths which makes my uni options limited. PLEASE HELP

sorry but most places won't consider a band 4 SJT, and most cut offs will probably be above 1600, but maybe wait until the deciles come out. if you're set of medicine, i'd probably do another gap year and do more preparation for the UCAT - 6-8 weeks.
idk about the processes abroad so i can't advise you on that
