    hey no way

    remember on TSR the UKCAT scores will be skewed and i highly doubt the cut off will be more that 690

    personally i reckon that is a very safe score to apply with
    Well they usually go up 15-20 points each time, so it was 675 last time, it may be 690-695, so it may be a bit risky!

    ^^^^ You have nothing to worry about with your scores. Apply to Newcastle if you want too.


    If I get 690+ I will be applying here too.

    Couldn't agree with you more... I love Newcastle, but damn my UKCAT 685... Don't even know if it's worth applying here anymore
    and the pressure is greater for me, because I'm an international applicant as well.. I don't know if we get lower cut-offs or whatnot. Help?

    Seeing as there are something like 10 times fewer places for internationals, competition should be much higher and thus the cut off should be higher, but then again I have no idea how Newcastle deal with international applicants.

    Re: Newcastle Medical School UKCAT Cut Off Score for 2012
    Does anyone know what the cut-off was for 2009 and 2008?

    That way we can get an idea of how much it goes up a year

    applying here!

    am going up to the open day just to have a look round though it looks really pretty though!

    my brother said a sweet thing to me the other day "i don't want you to go to newcastle - you'll be too far to visit us and you'll get a strange accent!"

    I would say 685-690 a reasonable cutoff as last year it was 667.5, if it increases by 20 points, it should be 687.5

    615 (2009) to 645 (2010) to 667.5 (2011)
    From newmedia

    I am going to call in tmrw to see what score is reasonable to apply with cuz last year they interview high ukcat first, then lowered cutoff so maybe this year they will start at 695 and come down to 685 or something
