Universities in the UK?????? | Education Reference

Question by Meg: Universities in the UK??????
Hello, I am a US citizen and live in New York City. I am 16 years old and in my Junior (3rd year) of high school. I want to know what my chances are of getting into leading universities in UK for medicine.
My average for the last year has been around 95% which I believe is about a 4.0 GPA.
I plan to work VERY hard this year and get the best possible grades and I believe I can get over 97% average if I really apply myself.
I do not go to a special high school or anything, it is my local school. It is called Benjamin Cardozo Highschool (if it matters), but I am in their Davinci program (which is an honors science and mathematics program) and Dance program (which you must audition for).
These are the classes I am taking this year:
Honors Physics
Honors English 11
Pre-calculus
Global History
AP Spanish (advanced placement)
Dance (instead of phys edu.)

(I have already taken from previous years [on my transcripts]: Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, Geometry, Integrated Algebra, Algebra 2, United States History, Honors Global History (1 year and 2 years are required), all other years of Honors English, Dance 1 and 2 as phys edu, drama/acting electives, French 1 and 2, Spanish 1, Art History elective, Sign Language elective, and Psychology elective.)
Does this look good?
I am also involving myself in MANY extra-curricular activities this year. I am volunteering at my local hospital (doing mostly clerical work), I am applying to volunteer at several charity events such as Breast Cancer walks, Asthma walks, AIDS walk, Cystic Fibrosis walk, Diabetes walk, and Alzheimers walk, where I will help with the set up/ clean up and on site registration which I will recieve credit for. I am also applying to many Teen Youth Community service groups where I will help elderly, homeless, and the hungry. And also an animal shelter where I will help with the animals. I am very lucky to have all this available in such a large and diverse city! :)
In the past I have participated in a strenous schedule of classical ballet classes outside of school and drama/ theather productions outside of school as well as 3 independent films.

Does this all sound good? I know it greatly depends on my BMATs scores and how well I do academicly this year, but lets just say that I score well on both, do I have a good chance of getting into leading universities in the UK such as Oxford or Cambridge, University College of London, Imperial College of London, Dundee or University of Aberdeen (not sure which University is the best in Scotland?) for medicine?
Do I even stand a chance? If not, what other medical schools in the UK can I apply to?

Thanks!
I have done biology and chemistry, but not AP biology and chemistry!
They do not offer this at my school!:(
what does this mean?????????

Best answer:

Answer by DaniBaje
Have you done AP Biology and Chemistry? These are required by most UK universities for medicine.

Requirements for Oxford:

SAT Reasoning Test with at least 1,400 in Critical Reading and Mathematics and preferably also 700 or more in Writing, giving a combined score of at least 2,100
OR
ACT with a score of at least 32 out of 36.

AND

Grade 5 in three or more Advanced Placement Tests in appropriate subjects
OR
SAT Subject Tests in three appropriate subjects at 700 or better.
