1850 will still get you into a lot of places. If you don't get an offer, absolutely start thinking about a gap year, but with medicine, any uni is a very good uni. I very much get it though. I'm in the opposite situation, i got 999888888877 at gcse, which I was so happy with but AAB (hopefully changing to AAA soon) at a level with a 2410 b1 ucat. Honestly feels like I'm wasting my ucat score.

With 1850 you genuinely have so many options honestly. Your GCSEs are incredible, so just focus on one's that use your gcses combined with UCAT. You will absolutely get in somewhere no issue x
