Do Queen Mary's (Barts) have a cut off for UCAS tariff points or do they use it in conjunction with the UKCAT? I've got 3As and a B at AS which gives me 410 and I've just sent my app off I was just wondering would I be rejected without interview because of UCAS tariff even though my UKCAT was 700 ?

For QMUL you need to have minimum 460 ucas tariff points... If you can change that choice then do because they will not consider you below 460!
