Last year I got 725 UKCAT band 2, but provided that I get 750 band 1 this year what score would I get?

Should I apply with these stats?

Should I apply with a UKCAT less than 750?

Yes

No, becuase your stats have frightened me and I have no idea what you ask this question...

Seriously..I have seen people in the past get rejected with like 805 UKCAT Band 1 and 13A*

Should I apply with a UKCAT less than 750?

wanna know the answer to this too, 720 band 1 so think it might be too low maybe...

You Scottish?

Is it less advantageous to be from England when applyinfg

I've got very similar stats to you and I'm applying hopefully so I'm sure you can at least give it a go! I have 9A*1A at iGCSE and my UKCAT is 752 band 1. I've got less work experience than you but a bit more volunteering and I'm not taking a gap year.

Hi what are your as's like btw?

Results come out in 5 days so I can't tell you that yet unfortunately

Oh yeah of course!

I'm hoping for 4A's though. What did you get?

last year i got 5A's (91% avg)

thanks!! you sure? because id get top third academic,
top band for sjt
second band for ukcat
a good ps and I could get top band for that
but seen so many people on here get rejected who seem to have top band for everything it just makes me **** the bed

Does anyone know how lenient Edinburgh are with grades (English A level student btw)? Obviously i have to wait til Thursday to find out for sure, but I'm pretty sure i've missed out on an A in chemistry, hopefully only by a few UMS. Because of my ASs I've hopefully got 3 As in my other subjects so would I have a chance at still being accepted if I got at least AAA and then a high B in chemistry or are they really strict? Just trying to get myself prepared for Thursday Thanks

Sorry I should have made it clearer, but i've received an offer and firmed it, I'm just worried about not making the grades by a few UMS and whether Edinburgh will still accept me

I've got an AAA offer including biology and chemistry. I should get an A in biology and at least an A in maths (as well as hopefully an A in my 4th A level). If I missed out on an A in chemistry by a few marks do you think they'd still accept me?

I think that chemistry is the one you really don't want to mess up. That being said, Edinburgh are taking people off the waiting lists, so they might be more lenient. ( just my opinion)
