Kings, Imperial and UCL biomed

Hi everyone!
I am in Year 12 and taking bio, chem, maths.
I'm planning on applying to Oxford, Imperial, UCL, King's and Manchester for biomedical sciences next year. I know that Oxford has an admissions test and obviously an interview for biomed but for the rest of the unis pretty much all they use is grades, personal statement and teacher reference. I know that these unis are quite hard to get into and competitive, but if I had perfect grades what exactly would they choose applicants based on? Because obviously they can't choose everyone who has a perfect set of grades since many people who apply would have that.
Also, if anyone is doing biomed or a related course in any of those unis or any other ones I'd love to hear any advice you might have for me :smile:

Thank youu

Supercurriculars basically EPQ, any research uve done, extra reading and what you have learnt from those experiences. Also, strong references.

Hi I'm in year 13 and I basically applied for the same thing except manchester. I've gotten a few offers so far, I'd say you want to get the basic entry grades, but maybe one above would be good. Oxford are gonna rank for interviews based on entrance exam and gcse, I'm not sure about UCL or imperial though. I focused on supercurriculars, so a lot of research into niches in biomed I'm interested in. They want people who can show they have a passion and are backing that up by talking about the research they've done, or activities they've done, or books they've read and why it interested them. I also did a short biomedical course by a company called Alison (I never paid for the certificate though) and mentioned this and how it led me to be interested in more in a particular topic - and then backed this up with some more research I did. Hope this helps
