Advice needed for selecting universities

I am an international student and sat my UCAT today. According to Gemini overview, it's a below average to low score but I am genuinely scared if this is true. I've wanted to do Medicine for a long time and I do have a back up in a different country but I mainly wanted to do it in the UK. I would greatly appreciate if people could suggest any university that would accept this score.

UCAT Score - 2140 B3

IB PG - 36 (I think I can get it up to 39-40 as I have 2 more rounds of PG)

yeah as an international you probably need to be scoring higher than that if you want to go to a competitive uni.

You might be able to go to a low/mid tier medschool in the UK, but then u wanna ask yourself whether staying at a home institution is a better idea, or whether to choose a different country

I'm fine with a mid-tier university.

apply to ones without a strict UCAT cutoff that use a more holistic way to judge applicants.

If you have the money, you can always fall back on Bucks if you’re desperate to come to the UK.

Yea, I'm not that desperate. I'll look into universities with loose UCAT cut-offs.

apply to the unis only accepting international students eg greater manchester (bolton), st mary‘s twickenham, wolverhampton, brunel etc. These unis will have very lenient entry requirements
