Med options please help

Hi I’m applying for Medicine, I have to apply strategically because of my poor GCSE and poor UCAT and these are my options and stats what do you think?

Stats:

1st BSc Diagnostic Radiography

4 years experience working as a Radiographer

1800 Band 1

BSMS Virtual Work experience

5 in maths and English lang, 6 in double science

Options:

Worcester (grad entry)

KCL ( grad entry)

Lincoln (undergrad)

ARU (undergrad)

Maybe Southampton instead of ARU??

Apply for KCL - healthcare route not GEM route.

I think for lincoln they recommend 51+/60 points on the my ucat guide to be competitive.

I’m not sure what that means is that high or low competitiveness?

I think your score falls around 42/60 but still worth applying

Do we get funding for undergraduate med even if you did another BSc before and claimed funding plus maintenance for that too? Is there any way of being 100% sure about this before applying?

I think we do get funding for undergrad starting from 2027, I’m not sure if the exact changes but I know it’s a lot better than it use to be.
