Well, I guess it's better for me, though! I'm an international :biggrin:

However, I have heard that starting from 2012 cycle (this year's cycle) Soton is now going to interview BM5 students.

I also rang aberdeen and they said the only academic part of an application they use is your predicted a-levels, so long as you pass min academic requirments.

I think the cut off was something in the high 500's last year it might rise as it normally always does , what do you mean your borderline for st.georges? :confused:

, yea i was thinking of applying for aberdeen aswell not to sure now though, i'm really looking for unis which give out alot of interviews like st.georges you just need 416 points in gcse's and predicted AAA and a decent ukcat (which i still have to do!!!) and you get an interview. :cool:

What's a decent UKCAT score for st georges?

Please refer to SGUL's new admission policy regarding the UKCAT score. They changed things up quite a bit. From what I've heard, they're using an overall cut-off score, as well as implementing cut-off scores for each subsection. I can't say for sure what's a decent score, as this is the first time they're using this technique. What's your UKCAT Score?

Can Southampton be classified as UKCAT monster?

I don't believe so... However, if you have a UKCAT score that is at the bottom 25% percentile, you most likely will not be considered.

OP, can we have a poll of people's ukcat scores? :biggrin:

Okay, so UKCAT - not so important.
Interview - doesn't exist (?) [I know they interview some students, but I'm not sure who; is it the graduates?]

PS - massive whoring going on

Academics - I'm not sure, can someone shed a bit of light please?
