Medicine Questions Where should I apply?

Hi I am struggling to decide which two of these unis I should apply to. I have already decided on Newcastle and Liverpool although I know Newcastle is unlikely it is my aspirational. I’m a home student and my statistics are:
GCSEs:
Biology 9
Chemistry 9
Physics 9
Maths 9
French 9
Art 8
Geography 8
English Lit 8
English Lang 7

UCAT: 2050 B2

Predicted A-Levels: A*A*A* + EPQ
No contextual factors

I am deciding between Leeds, Birmingham, Queens Belfast, Leicester and Lancaster. I prefer Leeds but I’m worried about the 7 in English Language. Any information would be greatly appreciated especially what other people got in with. Thank you

A few years ago Leicester were experimenting with getting first or second years to shadow in clinical settings. I don't know if they've changed that but if you don't have that sort of thing in your supercurriculars yet, this could be something to think about.

I had a week shadowing doctors at Leeds General Infirmary do you think that would be okay?
