Re: Keele Applicants 2012Reported, a mod should hopefully be along soon.
In future, if you want a thread moved, look in the top right hand corner of your first post in the thread (the little exclamation mark in a red and white circle). You can click this, and report your own post (requesting to have it moved). Using the reporting system for stuff like this means mods can be notified much quicker than just asking the mods inside the thread.
Although try to get the right forum next time too.

Anybody else seen this on the Keele website?
That's quite worring! Do you reckon there'll be less applicants this year because of it?A100 – the standard 5-year programme; there were over 3,000 applications for 130 places on this programme in 2011 -

Re: Keele Applicants 2012I applied here last year, and got an offer, so please feel free to ask anything about the admissions process guys. I'll try my best to answer.
That said, don't ask me too much about uni life, I'm going to a different medical school so I won't be able to answer that.
Good luck with your applications!

Re: Keele Applicants 2012do you know any other unis that doesnt use the UKCAT "so much" to shortlist people?(Original post by thegodofgod)
Woo!
will be applying for 2012 entry
Chose Keele mainly because they don't really use the UKCAT so much, and I flopped that completely
(don't really know what else to say
)

Re: Keele Applicants 2012BSMS use it in a similar way to Keele:(Original post by arnab)
do you know any other unis that doesnt use the UKCAT "so much" to shortlist people?
"All applicants to BSMS are required to take the UKCAT however, there is currently
no threshold. We only use the UKCAT once you have been interviewed, either if you are on borderline with other candidates to being offered a place here, or if you are already on our waiting list and a space has become available. A low UKCAT score does not mean that your application will automatically be made unsuccessful if you meet our other entry requirements."
UEA too:
"We have not set a minimum cut-off score for the UKCAT test. We will be considering scores from the test alongside standard application and personal statement screening processes in the School. While a high UKCAT score could be
advantageous a low score will not automatically disqualify a candidate from consideration, if the rest of the application is strong then the applicant could still be short-listed for interview with a lower test score."
Take a look here to see how other universities use it too: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki/UKCAT -

Re: Keele Applicants 2012There's also Liverpool, Birmingham and Lancaster that don't use the UKCAT at all, or any other admissions test, but I'm sure you're aware of those(Original post by arnab)

Re: Keele Applicants 2012Thinking of applying here for fourth option, had no idea there were 3000 applications last year though! I expect that was because of the AAB offers they gave out though, same reason Sheffield had their 717.5 cut off, so it should reduce this year.

There's no others that don't use any admissions tests (I think!). And there's Cambridge, Oxford, UCL and Imperial that use the BMAT, not the UKCAT

Re: Keele Applicants 2012There's also Bristol that don't use it, the ones that do not use UKCAT at all are Bristol, Birmingham, Liverpool, Lancaster, Cambridge, Oxford, UCL and Imperial. As well as ones that do use it, but only slightly such as Keele, UEA, BSMS and I think Aberdeen.(Original post by Iaso)

Re: Keele Applicants 2012Oh yes Leeds use a points based system, you get a score out of 46 (16 for GCSEs and A levels, 6 for reference and 24 for personal statement), and if your UKCAT average is above 700 you get one bonus point, so not very heavy weighting at all. Nottingham I have no idea, sorry. Try looking at the nottingham applicant threads to get an idea.(Original post by arnab)
