Hey, for some of the unis you’ve mentioned, like ucl and imperial, they only weigh for GCSEs, English / and or maths at a grade 6, once they’ve seen you’ve gotten that they will not look at the other GCSEs you’ve taken. Your Alevel predicted is good and you have a lot of work experience/ extra curricular already, so that is good and should be good enough for applying. Ik you’ve asked for what to improve on but honestly that list is pretty broad and covers a lot, so in my opinion curricular wise you have enough and your main focus now should be a levels and maintains a good predicted, and of course UCAT, id advise to start ucat prep start of may, that’s the perfect time to get a good score and not burn yourself out,
If you stick to revising a levels, start ucat prep in may, you will defo get an interview at least, (of course offer is based on how you do at interview so), good luck!
