With a UCAT score of 1570 (Band 2) and predicted BCC, it will be very difficult to gain entry into a UK medicine foundation year, as most universities ask for at least BBB including sciences and a higher UCAT (around or above the 1870–1900 average). For instance, Keele sets a UCAT cut-off near 2280 and Plymouth requires BBB, while other gateway providers like Nottingham, Leicester, and Hull York also set stricter thresholds. Your best chances would come from improving your predicted grades, retaking UCAT to raise your score, or qualifying for widening participation/contextual entry routes where some flexibility may apply; otherwise, you might consider starting with biomedical sciences and progressing to graduate-entry medicine, or exploring overseas medical programmes with lower entry requirements
