According to one of the previous posters they'll be interviewing more this year, so maybe the cut off will go down, and as you said the entry requirements have increased too :smile:

I go to St Paul's in Glasgow. With the programme it's either a 2 grade decrease in entry requirements i.e you could get in with AAABB, or if you meet the requirements like i did then it's a 10% increase in UKCAT... I'm not sure how it'll work with you doing it last year though, i think it might still come into effect for you though, i believe it's the first time you apply that it can be used.


Oh i see, yeah its the 2 grade or 10%, but you dont get the 10% on 2nd attempt thats why i had alot of pressure on my ukcat! but glad its over!! either way your fine even without reach i take it then.
Yeah i saw that post too but i wouldnt bank on it too much but your fine for an interview anyways. :smile: just means more competition :wink:?

I don't think they would change it back to 800.
Theres no reason to is there?


No i doubt they would, but maybe a bit more interviews, 600-650 or something. No one can really know anyway until they officially release the info.

Yeah well I'm nearly 100% sure you'll get an interview with your UKCAT anyway!:smile: exactly, definitely much better to get an interview when there's less of them!

I rang Glasgow and they said last year cut off was about 2700 and that could decrease because they are expecting to interview a few more than last year.

Also they said that there are 60 places for RUK Students


Oh, that'll be good if their cut offs decrease. I feel a bit risky with my 697.5 avg.
And wow that's not many places at all, I don't know why but expected them to take at least 80 RUK students :/

From what I've heard for the past few years there hasn't been a separate cut off for RUK applicants.

Not sure, gonna phone and ask

On a side note, does anyone think the cut off will exceed 720 this year?

On their website it states that interviews take place in December. So this means that all 500-600 interviews are conducted in one month?

I think they do tend to over run into early January.

Apparently interviews at Glasgow last something ridiculously short like 15 minutes. Say the admissions administrators work for 5 hours a day, that's what, 20 interviewees, times 30 days ... 600 ish. Yeah, they probably can fit everyone in!
