Post interview. When 2 applicants are very close, they will use the ukcat to differentiate between them. Obviously, the person with the higher ukcat wins :colone:

ah ok thanks, so what is their criteria to select for interview? PS and reference? and do you know how many offers/places/ interviews they give?

I'm just an applicant like you, don't know a lot about offers/places
Selection for interview is academic and PS...not sure about reference :erm:

Last year, they scored academics out of 15 and PS after 15, cut off for interview was 25.5/30

I'd hazard a guess at 13/15 for academics, although I have practically no idea of what I'm talking about, so take what I've said with a pinch of salt :redface:

do they have special preference for a specific type of work experience? Mine is 3 wks in a hospital shadowing doctors in 8 departments. but i have no hands on patient care, does it matter? i mean, i learnt so much from my wk experience, it is absolutely amazine, but just a bit worried whether they prefer hand-on patient care.

It was scored out of 15 last year. Both academics and PS are scored out of 20 this year.4 a's at AS gives you an academic score of 20/20 but best to email them directly :smile:

How do you know that 4A's at AS gives you 20/20?

I've called them asking so and they've answered exasperated,saying full marks.
(they're probably annoyed with the sheer number of people asking so, well the guy I talked to sounded so lol!)
