Hello!

I'm wondering whether I should apply to glasgow...
Do you know what weighting they place on the UKCAT (before and after) the interview? I didn't do very well (652 avg. and band 1 sjt), although my academics are quite strong (with all A*'s at GCSE and A*A*A for A-levels). Any other uni's that I should consider given these stats?

Thanks :smile:

It looks like your academic results are strong indeed! I'd give Glasgow a call on Monday and ask about the UKCAT though as I don't know enough about medicine at uni to be able to advise you. All the best!:smile:

oh that's a shame :frown: maybe have a look at the further maths support programme? if you haven't sent your application off yet it would definitely be worth mentioning that you couldn't take it !

I have sent my application off already. So I'm guessing physics and maths will be your only subjects as you'll start in second year?
