Applying for UCL A100 Medicine

Hi, I am a recent graduate of an undergraduate biosciences course at UCL. I got a first and am now applying to a mixture of undergrad/ grad entry medicine courses. To be honest I didn’t do the best in the ucat :// so i wanted to see some advice about where i’m applying (I only want to apply to London !

I got UCAT 2020, AAA A-levels (which you only need ABB if you have already have an undergraduate degree) and GCSE’s 888888776.

I am applying to KCL (undergrad + grad entry), UCL and Queen Mary i’m thinking ?

For UCL, your score is just shy of last year's cut-off and so unless you have some sort of advantage as a UCL alumni, I think it's an incredibly risky choice and unlikely to secure an interview. King's very unhelpfully doesn't like posting statistics and so it's a bit harder to say, but much like UCL I think it's a very risky choice for both courses. Queen Mary is the least risky of your options, but also very risky, your UCAT score only just cleared last year's cut-off, and based on this year's UCAT stats I think it's reasonable to assume the cut-offs for all the unis will go up. But you never know - the cut-off for Queen Mary's GEM programme dropped for 2025 entry despite an overall increase in UCAT scores for that cycle... but it's still very risky.

You want to apply only in London, but I think that it's too risky with your stats and you'd have a better chance of success looking outside of London, e.g.: Chester, Pears Cumbria, etc.
