I got an offer last year, my GCSE's and UKCAT average were pretty much identical to yours, slightly lower even. So it is perfectly possible if you've got a good personal statement and have a good interview.

I think many of the 'newer' medical school, BSMS included, put a lot more emphasis on your personal statement, so if you have great voluntary work and extra-curricular activities that should help!

Hey I know friends who had roughly the same gcse grades and slightly lower ukcat and as level scores who are now at bsms and doing very well, so by no means should that stop you! Concentrate on making the rest of your application as strong as possible and your grade are not bad at all so for bsms I wouldn't worry about that side. For other unis that place more emphasis on ukcat or gcses like birmingham they may be though so research the medical schools cut off carefully

i would say with that you do have a chance all A's at A2/AS is great.
i'm not sure what emphasis they put on ukcat... as long as you have an immense personal statement you should be okay.
good luck.
