MedReq: Medical School Requirements Program

OMG, WOW, Why are you guys like so mega useful?! Makes me ashamed to be applying for medicine but you're gonna be mega doctors and maybe even reform healthcare in UK , good luck!

...

1. Can we have it so we can enter our average UKCAT score instead of the overall only? It would make it a lot easier!

2. The UKCAT requirements for a lot of universities are very misleading. Atm, an average of 575 will get you into 2/3 of all universities. I'm sure KCL and Leeds have got a UKCAT average requiring above 300?

3. Still no BMAT?

4. Atm, AAC (with the C in the non-science subject) passes me in every university bar Cambridge. It shouldn't! AAD and lower does too. Also, it even passes me if it's in a science subject.

5. The A Level requirements of some universities now require a 4th grade at A2 or AS. For example, Liverpool require AAAb typically. There is no allowance for this?



Sorry to be so critical - become a habit due to PS Help Just some quick notes on things I've found. Really good work so far though, keep it up!

- I'll look into allowing you to input your overall score instead in future updates
- UKCAT Req of 300 simply means that UKCAT is required for that university but the wiki wasn't very clear on cut-offs so yar....
- BMAT cutoffs aren't very clear either. I'll add them later on
- On the wiki, some universities simply said "1 other laboratory based science subject." so I couldn't exactly code in a cut-off point for the 3rd science.
- I'll expand the AS Level requirements in later updates

Finally made a thread!

Nice

(btw no rep-whoring )

And I can't rep you - "please rate another member"

Sorry to be a further annoyance, but is there one of these for IB scores?

Nope. Only this is available for now. But if you can find me a table with all the updated IB requirements, Ill add them in ASAP. (I'm too lazy to go through all the university websites :P )

Thanks, as I said it's really good. I'm just being picky!

I can already input overall score. It's just easier to input an average as that's what most people know!

BMAT cut-offs I'll try to look into. I know that UCL require 19 (with 5, 5, 9) as a minimum and that Imperial require something similar (with 5, 5, 9). I do know many people that have got just lower though and have got in so the BORDERLINE idea could work here.

There was a thread once somewhere with UKCAT cut-offs for 2010 (I think?) for most universities. I'm not sure if it's still around.

As for the 3rd A Level subject. I think a B grade is a minimum and most universities require an A grade in it. Just have a look at the actual grades the uni requires and have that as a minimum requirement for the 3rd A Level (whether it's science or not). You can then assess separately if that particular university needs 3 sciences or not.

So is section three of the BMAT marked out of nine? Do you gave to get 100% in it

That's very well presented - good skills!

I know it is virtually impossible to account for requirements that are relative to other applicants (and can have exceptions if there are personal circumstances), but just to say that Oxford has some very stringent GCSE requirements that the document does not account for. I'd almost suggest 'imposing' your own cut off at 60%A* or similar, but clearly that would go away from the formal nature of the document. Include a note maybe?

No.

It's marked out of 15.

The marks are out of 9, 9, 15. So a 5, 5, 9 is considered to be the average benchmark for interviews at UCL and Imperial. Not always true though as there is leniency.
