Plymouth and Liverpool are safe for sure. Leeds probably ok. They do score your best 6 GCSEs and your UCAT is high enough for them. But your UCAT is below last year's cut-offs for QMUL and Newcastle, so you better go for safer options like Sheffield.

I was thinking that as an option but apparently they want a 7 in maths and I got a 6 and also my band 3 may limit me

Yes you're right on the B3 - may be Glasgow instead then
Hiya, great to hear you're interested in studying at Plymouth 😊

Although I don't study the same course, if you have any general questions too about the university or city, feel free to let me know and I'd be happy to help 🙂

We also have lots of upcoming open days which I'd highly recommend to give you a feel for the campus, hear about courses and facilities, as well as tour the spaces you could be having lectures and sessions in.

Best of luck with your application! 🙌
