Imperial College Medicine Applicants 2012

For 2011 entry, a score of 4.9 in each of sections 1 and 2, coupled with a score of 2.5 and grade C in section 3, were the minimum scores required.



Nobody knows this year's cut off scores yet, so stop go going crazy people! Just take a deep breath and start the waiting game...

I read that as "For 2012 entry..." and nearly died

good luck should have applied cambridge with those s1/s2 :P and then rejected them after getting an imperial offer cuz we're better :P

do you think the cutoff this year will be lower? or same? what does everyone think

do you think the cutoff this year will be lower? or same? what does everyone think

in 2010 it was :

The BMAT scores will vary from year to year, and so it is not possible to publish a cut-off point. However, on the basis of our previous experience candidates would generally need to obtain 50% in each of the three sections of BMAT in order to be amongst those who are selected for interview.

in 2011 it rose to 4.9 4.9 2.5 B

im guessing the increase in applicants last year led to that rise....

so (correct me if im wrong) in theory it would be reasonable to expect the cutoff to be roughly the same as the 2010?

So is that implying that 50% = 4.5 in each section, as opposed to 5 (which is the average)?
There are fewer applicants this year, so it could be like you said. However, the quality of applicants could be higher, which would in effect increase the cut off scores. I hope that the former is the case

yeh the cutoff was 4.5 4.5 .....so i just seriously hope thats the case this year......if you look at last years madicine stalking page.....people who got less than 4.9 in S1 or S2 got interviews !? ????????

When I applied to Imperial last year I missed the cut off for interview by 1 mark in S1, and when my rejection arrived I was completely devastated because I was hoping they would look at my application overall. Speaking from past experience the only advice I can offer to those who scored under last years cut off in this years BMAT, is to just accept that an Imperial rejection may be on its way. I don't want to sound harsh when I say that but I can tell you that accepting it earlier on is less painful then waiting in hope and then getting rejected. Besides I think the most important thing to realise is that nearly all of Imperials applicants will be called for interview at other medical schools, and at the end of the day med school is med school.

Does anyone know when Imperial release their BMAT cut off scores?

Thank you

I think they model them off of what everyone got...not sure. I think either way we can expect to hear soon.

Being above the cut off doesn't actually guarantee you an interview, does it? (I got 4.9 in S1+2 so it's pretty borderline :/)

If you meet the cut off, they look at the other aspects of your application. You have to have ridiculously bad AS's like B's and C's, horrendous GCSE, or a really bad personal statement I suppose they may reject you prior to interview. But it really does guarantee you an interview from what I gathered last year
