How do I add my BSc onto my UCAS med app?

I have a pending bachelors from UofT (Canadian uni) that I need to add onto my application for medicine this cycle. But I'm confused on what to put under the education section. I put down "International Non-EU Bachelor" under qualifications. Once I select that I am prompted to put down Awarding Institution. The entirety of "University of Toronto" Does not fit (8 character limit) so I put "UofT" though I will call UCAS in the morning to confirm.

For Result, what do I put down? My current CGPA? Pending? I don't know.

Sorry I'm just very lost, it's the last stretch of apps, I have my reference sorted (a prof from the uni) my statements almost done too, the education portion I am stumped.

Any help would be VERY useful and welcome. Thank you.

Asking around at my uni and seeing some old threads here on TSR, I've determined that for the awarding institution you should put either some acronym of your institution or simply "UNI". UofT sounds fine to me.

For results, you need to put down pending. Your degree is pending still and so you don't know what grade it'll be yet!

Also, just double-checking, will you count as an international student and be applying for graduate entry medicine programmes?

Hi! Yes technically I’m international and looking at grad entry. I reached out to some schools and they said in theory I could apply to non grad entry programs and my uni grades would still be looked at first. I’ve got my high school grades attached too though
