Predicted A*A*AA at A2
680 UKCAT.
I know people with lower UKCAT scores getting through to interview, but they were Scottish.
Does aberdeen look less favourably on a levels?
Still haven't heard from them.
Does anyone know anyone with a similar score to mine getting through?

It's not to do with the qualifications you're offering. You're competing for a RUK place, the Scots have a different set of places, so it's not comparable.

They only handout rejections in march along with offers. its just incase they want to review anybody`s application again, they can do this easily because your application is still "undecided".

So if we have not heard by now about an interview its a rejection unless they find spaces?

Be careful when looking for hotels as the interviews are not held in Aberdeen University, they are at the Suttie Centre which is part of the hospital complex. This is nowhere near Aberdeen Uni.

The uni's are normally quite good about re-arranging if it's during your mocks/exams. Glasgow and Belfast both gave me alternative dates because the original dates they gave me were during my exam week in December. Just sayin!

Last year, the lowest UKCAT score for successful applicants was 2140. But the scoring system has changed this year and the UKCAT now makes up 20% of our applications.
