Just sat my ucat today, not sure about score.

I just sat my ucat and I got 2010 B1 which is a lot lower than what I was getting in my mocks. Originally I wanted to apply to Oxford (Best choice financially and personally for me), KCL, Edinburgh and Cardiff. I've got 11A* GCSEs and predicted A*A*A*A.
Do you think I should still apply to these unis or maybe rethink some of them?

Honestly this really depends on how confident you feel about the rest of your application. I don't think 2010 would be very competitive at Oxford, KCL, or Edinburgh (though the B1 does you a big favour) so you have to consider whether your personal statement, supercurriculars/WEX and teacher reference will compensate.

If you feel confident, definitely don't let your score discourage you. As I'm sure you already know, three of those unis don't have a ucat cut off, and Edinburgh's is like 1650, so getting an offer is absolutely possible. I would recommend maybe swapping one or two out for less competitive courses, just to be safe.
