Cardiff Medical School Applicants 2013

Hi there

Just wanted to ask a quick question to the offer holders (congratulations by the way)

I got 10 A*s and 2 As in my GCSEs and I just finished my AS exams and would get my results soon (fingers crossed). I just want to know if I have a chance of getting into Cardiff if my AS grades are like: AABB or AAAB.

Thanks

I got into Cardiff with AAAB at AS. And your GCSEs are brilliant, you would have a chance at an interview I reckon. Good luck with your results.

Oh thank you I genuinely hope so! Congratulations on the offer and would you mind if I ask what your UKCAT score was? thanks

I applied for 2012 entry, and my UKCAT was 622 I think. I was very disappointed with it, which is why I chose to apply to Cardiff, since they only use it to distinguish between similar candidates.

Could anyone please outline to me cardiffs admission process and how much weighting they put on each section of the application eg gcse ukcat ps etc?

For this year's cycleYour top 9 GCSE's are scored3 points for an A*2 points for an A1 point for a BThese 9 GCSE's have to include English, Maths and Sciences.A cut-off is set, those below the cut-off will not be considered further. People living in poor areas/ have extenuating circumstances may be reconsidered. If you're a GAP year applicant (with achieved grades of AAA or above), your academic points will increase based on a sliding scale.The cut-off was around 24-25 points this year. Those above the cut-off will be scored according to their non-academic qualities (personal statement/ reference). The top applicants are invited for an interview. An offer/rejection is made solely on interview performance.

Thanks for that, do they really only use the ukcat for borderline cases? Also if you don't mindme asking what were your stats?
