Cannot find a uni that I could apply to - please help

I am an international student studying in the uk (international baccalaureate) with good grades and a lot of co-Curricula activities but a really low Ucat score (1730 and band 2). I want to do a foundation year in medicine to than study medicine later on (both in the UK). I fear that many UNIs will not take me because of my score and being international. Does anyone know where it might be a shot worth to apply to (uni wise)? I did a bit of research and I couldn’t really find anywhere. I also don’t want to wait a year or resit the ucat. My only other option would otherwise be Austria. If anyone has an idea please tell me. Many thanks

You will not be eligible for foundation medicine as an international student.

Have a look at Buckingham and Hertfordshire med schools for international students, though it might be a stretch with your UCAT score
