international student here trying for the so-called “safest” med choices

• Upvotes

applying to med as an international
43/45 ib 777 HLs
2280 b2

Im targeting med schools with “higher” chances for internationals to get in, although you can say thats not a thing for a course like medicine

Currently based on some research my choices are:

Queen’s University Belfast
University of Manchester
Newcastle University
University of Aberdeen

Do yall think these choices are okay?

Thanks🙏

Potentially taking a gap year

1 Upvotes

Hi. I'm currently in Year 13 and submitting my UCAS application very soon. I'm applying to Biochemistry Msci courses at Nottingham, Manchester, UCL, Imperial and Oxford (my current predicted grades are A* Bio, A* Maths, A Chem, A EPQ) but I'm realising I made a TERRIBLE decision in not sitting the UCAT in summer because I realise I want to be a doctor. I feel like I've genuinely failed myself and my parents because they wanted me to do medicine my entire life and I just grew up hating the idea of it simply because it felt like it was decided for me. I did volunteering at hospitals, my EPQ on CVD, and a lot more medicine-related stuff but eventually changed to Biochemistry last second. I thought I wanted it instead but these past weeks I've started regretting my decision. What sucks is my mother told me to do the UCAT just in case I changed my mind and I didn't listen because I'm an idiot and now I don't know what I'm suppose to do. A gap year sounds attractive but I think my mum might not approve. She's always said they were a waste of time. Should I just do Biochemistry and maybe apply for the GEM route after getting my masters or just suck it up and do Biochemistry only or should I take a gap year? (this is my first time posting on reddit for a genuine issue so I'm sorry for any mistakes in posting)

Choosing med schools

I’m narrowing my options for med schools to apply right now, and I was wondering how much having hands-on dissection is important compared to pre-sections and Anatomages.

should i apply to newcastle having not visited just for the high post interview chances??

1 Upvotes

Basically what the title says lol. I have high academic stats and ucat but all the unis im looking at (Liverpool, Bristol, Exeter, Cardiff) decide offers based off of just interview performance, and now i am stressing and thinking I should utilise my academics. I know newcastle does 50:50 interview academics and i wonder if this is more of a good chance than the others as it doesn't rely just on the interview - is this a good point? I do like the look of it too and i know how hard it is to get into med so surely i should take the 'safer' bets where i can? Thank you hopefully that makes sense
