Glasgow Medical School Applicants 2012

You can't really base it on TSR- like you said it really isn't representative. But how do you know its going to go up? The overall average may go up, but you never know - people with the higher scores might not even apply to Glasgow...

I get the feeling the cut off is going to jump a fair bit this year. It normally goes up every year anyway but this years ukcat average (based on TSR )I know its only a % but still looks to be higher

True they might not apply but the trend is to go up!I hope it stays the same as last year but I really doubt it. lots of good candidates will lose out on Glasgow but that is their way of doing things every uni uses the ukcat differently people who can't apply may be lucky somewhere else. Anyway we'll find out soon enough

We could maybe get a poll on here just for Glasgow applicants? Might give you a better idea of the average for this specific place. Still won't be representative, but at leasst give you more of an idea.

I like that idea.
The lady I called said as long as u get around 670, ur good.

I just got 667.5 avg...will it be pushing it applying here? thanks

Thought I would start a thread for 2012 Glasgow Medical School applicants

Good luck everyone!

Sorry to be cheeky - but any chance you can add a poll for UKCAT score? I think it would be helpful for people with borderline UKCAT scores, who wanted to scope out possible competition and work out a likely cutoff

Think you'll be fine with that I reckon anything under 660 is very risky

I really like Glasgow, but the fact they supposedly discriminate against English students at interview is really annoying :/ Or maybe i should say they favour scottish students, thats probably more correct.

I've heard about Edinburgh doing that, but I don't understand on what basis you could say Glasgow discriminate against English students at interview, there's a significant number of English students at Glasgow for medicine. Glasgow accepted loads of English students for medicine last year as well, just take a look at last years Glasgow applicants thread.

I dont have the figures or anything, i was merely told by a couple of glasgow medics who i know that as a general rule you stand a much much better chance of getting in if you are scottish. As is the case with edinburgh. Just thought i'd say so people knew what I know, Im not saying its gospel but im certainly taking it into consideration!!

this is completely wrong! I've just started 1st year and our year is huge (276). There are many nationalities represented with lots of English and Northern Irish. Probably if we got the figures, I would guess Scots are under-represented if anything.

Glasgow are bastards, i studied 4 years here and going back to teach the med/dental students and I still cant apply here due to bad ukcat. Ridiculous.
