Applying for Medicine as a Biomedical Sciences graduate

Hi, I'm about to start third year of Biomedical Sciences and I'm trying to figure out whether to continue with this career or apply for medicine. I was wondering if anyone who has studied Medicine after graduating from Biomed could help me with a few things. Tuition Fees Loan: I've read on several websites about the NHS bursaries and the Student Finance Loans, I would like to know if anyone has applied for those and how difficult it is to get them. University Options Reccomendations: I was wondering if you would recommend applying for some specific universities according to the number of places they offer, admission requirements etc. 5 or 4 years course: I've read that most of you recommend applying for both 4 and 5 years course. Is the GEM admission really that competitive? Thank you in advance for your help.
