Imperial or Oxford (+ UCL) :confused:
I am way into panic now about universities!
I have 11 A*s, 4 A's - Bio, Chem, Maths, Eco
UKCAT disappointing 615
I always thought id apply for imperial, but the cut off is 4.5,4.5,9, which is what you have to get at UCL to gurantee an interview!
What i want to know is it worth me apply to Oxford instead due to GCSES? Or should i apply to all, 3 BMAT, crazy!
Because i dont know where else apart from Birmingham i can apply with ukcat being low.... i dont want pbl and closer to LDN the better
Is the fact that Oxford only have 150 spaces and Imperial 286 mean i have more a shot at Imperial... I am not great at BMAT.... help!!!

, so 5,5,9 could guarantee you 2 BMAT uni interviews at least 
how are you feeling about the BMAT, as i suppose its personal as too how you think you'll do in it. And remember you're probably guaranteed a birmingham offer, but from what i've read 2 BMAT uni's is the normal choice (3 is really rare). Which one would you drop?
Doesn't ICL's cut off change? They interview the top 20% as said so on their admissions website/forum.

, so 5,5,9 could guarantee you 2 BMAT uni interviews at least Even assuming it was, it wouldn't guarantee you an interview. It would mean that you'd meet the requirements to be considered for interview.

Firstly, there is no cut-off as such at Imperial.
Secondly, a score in the top 20% (required to be considered for interview) was 4.7, 5.0, 7.5 and above last year (2008/09), and fluctuates every year.
Thirdly, your UKCAT is far from poor, and does not rule you out of everywhere - other people are better placed to advise on that
Fourthly
Is the fact that Oxford only have 150 spaces and Imperial 286 mean i have more a shot at Imperial... I am not great at BMAT.... help!!!
Just... no
It's competitive wherever you apply. Indeed, Oxbridge get fewer applicants in general, but does that make it any easier to get in? Requirements rationally considered, don't be overanalytical - just apply to wherever you'd particularly like to go OP

How have you got so many GCSE's?
beatleboar
How have you got so many GCSE's?
I think the 4 As were at AS?
a.sehgal
yeah sorry if i wasnt clear the above is correct, moronic acid can you please tell me how you prepared for your bmat? what did you get?
I didn't 'prepare' for it as such - S1 is aptitude, S2 is science (I did 3 sciences at A-Level so I didn't see the need to revise GCSE material) and I couldn't prepare for S3 because I didn't have anyone to mark my essays
I got | 7.0 | 5.8 | 9.0 |

No it's not.
Even assuming it was, it wouldn't guarantee you an interview. It would mean that you'd meet the requirements to be considered for interview.

well ucl guarantee you an interview if you get 5,5,9 and looking on tsr, most imperial applicants who reached this cut off got interviews so yeh, i agree with you but the chances are you'd get two interviews
keep in mind your medicine application is not weighted by one factor alone, in this case the UKCAT score you're stressing about. 11 A*s at GCSE and AAAA at AS is very impressive and likely balances you out your relatively average UKCAT score (i got 614 average)
UCL medical school say in their prospectus that GCSE scores are their most reliable indicator of future academic progress for those who they accept so don't get too hung up about it
in terms of BMAT i got an early UCL interview before they'd even seen my BMAT score (which was also average :P) based on my personal statement and UCAS application stuff alone, and i my grades weren't as good as yours.
hence the well-rounded application
