Where should I apply?

consider what you are applying with. what are your predicted grades like? how strong are your GCSE results? How well did your UKCAT go? are you sitting the BMAT? These alone will give you a good indication of where you should focus your efforts with each Uni prioritising different things. Exeter love predicted grades. Newcastle rates the UKCAT highly and Cardiff you GCSE results. Once you've narrowed it down to where you are likely to get in, look at the place you're going to spend at least 5 years of your life in! Is the city for you? do you play sport competitively - look at the sports facilities for your sport.Look at the way medicine is taught, do you prefer learning from lectures? how much clinical exposure do you get and how early on? Also consider the size of the medical school, large medical schools such as Manchester have amazing hospitals next to them but often this comes at the expense of not knowing all your peers.
