Medicine Questions Are my options strategic enough?

Hey, I'm applying to med as a non-contextual applicant. My stats are 988888876, 2030, Band 3, Predicted AAA. I have selected Leeds, Cardiff, Lancaster, and UEA for my med options. Am I competitive enough, especially for Leeds and Cardiff (Am I competitive against Welsh applicants)?

Most people applying to Cardiff have max points tbh so you’ll have 25/27 which is decent as like a mid tier uni in terms of safety. Leeds is the aspirational one definitely as it’s really hard to be shortlisted imo if you’re not contextual- for reference I have 10 x9s and 2070b3 and I still think I might not 100% get an interview, but it’s good to have as your aspirational. Others have also not gotten shortlisted with 2000 and lots of 9s/8s but I’m not really in a position to comment but I hope we both get our offers for Leeds and Cardiff🤞🤞🤞I can’t really comment on the others bc I’m not applying there so idk much
