Re: Newcastle Medicine applicants 2012 :)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!(Original post by Godin_D)
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

Can'ae believe how quickly this past year has gone... I remember posting in/joining this thread last year! -
Re: Newcastle Medicine applicants 2012 :)Couldn't agree with you more... I love Newcastle, but damn my UKCAT(Original post by spoinkytheduck)
YYYAAAY!! I'm tootally applying here..!!
The more I hear about newcastle the more I love it..
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? -
Re: Newcastle Medicine applicants 2012 :)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.(Original post by doctork2)

Re: Newcastle Medical School UKCAT Cut Off Score for 2012615 (2009) to 645 (2010) to 667.5 (2011)(Original post by -rebecca)
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
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 somethingLast edited by apple17; 11-09-2011 at 23:03. -
Re: Newcastle Medical School UKCAT Cut Off Score for 2012I would be willing to place large sums of money on you achieving an interview. That's a brill score.(Original post by DHolliday)
I achieved this morning;
Verbal- 670- I feel is very low
Quantitative- 900- hopefully makes up for it
Abstract- 750
Decision- 730
Avg 762.5?
Thanks in advance, D
