Maybe in a few more years. I don't think it'll be that high - good I hope isn't that high. So did you get 720? That's an amazing score :smile:

I think you would need at least 700+ to be competitve. Especially as they are looking at ukcat before non-academics this year. Good luck!

It says on the medical school website that they're looking at applications differently this year. Best of luck if you decide to apply :smile:

Not sure how to feel about their new approach. It reduces the stress of UKCAT because you only need to meet the cut-off score. However, the personal statements have to be bloody amazing!! That will also make the interviews much harder because people will be scoring higher then they are right now :frown:

I'm quite surprised at the jump between 2012/13 to 2013/2014(662.5 to 702.5) for the UKCAT. :eek:

Gathering from what I've heard surrounding the new admissions process, the average needed is likely to be even higher for 2014/2015!

I hope it doesn't get as high Newcastle or King's:frown:

Is it true a high UkCAT (and obviously the required academic grades at AS) guarantees an interview for Manchestee?

Nope. A high UKCAT means that they will then review your PS/Non-academics before they select for interview. Hope this helps :smile:
Hey Guys,

Just thought I should start a thread for 2015 entry to Manchester Medical School as I haven't seen one out there :smile:
