Exeter Medical School Applicants 2013

couple of concerns about Exeter...

(would be applying with AS grades of AABB, predicted grades AAA) - but any offer from there might include an A*.... does anyone know how that works? who is most likely to receive A*AA offer rather than AAA offer?

Also, applying with a UKCAT score of 650 - hopefully ok, but do they interview the ones with higher scores first, slowly making their way down to the 650-ish candidates when they're running low in numbers of offers to make??

Does anyone know if they look closely at AS grades, or whether they go entirely by predicted grades?

so would a direct school leaver with (only) AAA predictions be disadvantaged compared to someone who had an A* within their prediction, at this med school?

Hey guys, well my UCAS deadline is in three days and I have not decided on my 4th Uni! ¬¬ Im thinking of one outside of London... So far either, BSMS, Nottingham, UEA, Keele, Exeter or Plymouth.. I NEED HELP. My London choices are St George's, Barts and Imperial.
If you guys could advise me about whether or not to apply here would be GREAT xD
What should I do? D:

You would get an interview at plymouth and exeter with that ukcat score, so they are definitely good options

But all your stats are really good, so i would suggest applying to the uni you like the best

Is it true that if you already have achieved at least AAA at A level, you are likely to be interviewed regardless of your UKCAT?

No longer the case apparently

Daym, where did you hear that?

On here. Some people have rung up and apparently they've been told that the UKCAT is still considered even for those with achieved grades.

i know you guys are probably tired of people asking "am i good enough to get in" but i'm gonna ask anyway :P my gcse's are 4A*s 7As, my AS grades are...
chem-B
French-A
Maths-B
Biology-A
however i am predicted 3A's in bio, chem and maths. I did my ukcat today and it was not good, 2450 (612.5 average) D: I have lots of work experience, i've been to 3-4 hospitals each for 2 weeks and i've volunteered at a care home for a year. My personal statement is pretty good (according to my tutor and other teachers) and i have a decent reference. I know my ukcat lets me down but do you reckon its worth me applying or would i get rejected straight away? any help would be much appreciated!

It is completely your decision but you should seriously take into consideration the UKCAT cut-offs that the previous cohorts have faced and then weight up the risks of applying.

Otherwise, your application is good!

thanks for the feedback, but do you know what the cut off would likely be?

according to the table i don't meet the minimum requirement for the overall score, you needed 2570 last year and all i got was 2450 thanks for your help though! you wouldn't happen to know any unis that i could apply to based on my whole application that i pretty much said earlier?
