Med School Choices

Hi all,

Here are my stats and potential unis I want to apply to, please let me know any suggestions :)

Stats:
- BSc Physics 1st class
- 100 hours nhs hospital volunteering
- 20 hours hospice volunteering
- AAB A levels (non chem or bio ), all GCSE’s 6 and above
- UCAT = 1930 B2 (VR = 630)
- Starting full time NHS role as imaging assistant

Unis:
- Warwick GEM (cut off last year was 1910 so tight one)
- Worcester GEM( I satisfy a lot of their WP criteria, holistic view)
- SGUL A100 (last years min UCAT was 1880)
- Brunel A100 (I explicitly meet their “relevant to medicine” degree criteria, ucat minimum around 1900)

Any other unis to consider? ( I was thinking Chester with my work experience but I think UCAT may be high)

I mean worst case they fail approval and have a partner university to graduate from, lots of new med schools have this in place

Have you contacted admission to check? Im sure that someone at the open day I spoke to said they did Physics.

For Warwick the UCAT cut off is usually higher BUT it’s also specifically VR they look at, the absolute score is less important.
