applying to medical school

Hello I recently got a ucat score of 1970 and an sjt score of band 1. My GCSE scores were 8 9s 1 8 and 1 7 and my predicted alvl scores for bio math and chemistry are all A*s. Where could I apply to using my scores and grades?

I would recommend doing a gap year and resitting the UCAT next year, as unfortunately 1970 will be holding you back considering your predictions and your GCSEs

I've applied to QUB, Leicester, Aston and Plymouth as they put more emphasis on grades would I have a chance to get an interview offer/offer as an international student? Unfortunately gap year is not an option for me because of my military service.

Email the admissions teams of the places you intend to apply to. If you have prior military service you may find a lot of admissions boards look favourably on your application.

As well as above, check out the MyUcat strategic applications guide, basically has everything about every uk medical school, including a detailed breakdown of what they want from applicants, so you can use this to decide (might be a little late now but you can always check if your choices were good ones and what they look for in interview!)
