Southampton UKCAT score?

Hi guys

Last year, the minimum score for the UKCAT score of those interviewed was 2800(!), so I was wondering if anyone could have a guess what it could be this year.
I thought since the average score has gone down this year, it would go down, but at the same time, people who got a score of below 2800 this year might think it's risky to apply, hence the score would barely change (DAT LOGIC THO 100/10)
Also what score do you think you would need that would make Southampton a "safe" choice, provided you meet the other criteria? :iiam:

Good luck to anyone who's yet to take theirs!

cheersssss :smile:

Well, I went to the open say and asked the question! The cut off is 2500 initially, then all those above are ranked by UKCAT and they interview from the top of the list and work down until they have made their quota of offers. I dont remember the number of offers they make- places are 242 so I guess around 400/500 offers?? Last year the lowest they went down to was 2800 so it really depends on how many apply and how high their UKCAT scores are. I am applying and would say its risky if you are around the 2800 mark. Hope that helps.

Do you know whether they just interview based on UKCAT score and whether they take into account anything else post-interview when making offers?

"A minimum of seven GCSEs at grade A, including mathematics, English and double award science (or equivalent). You may offer qualifications which are equivalent to GCSE. (Please contact the Medicine Admissions Office for further information).
AAA, including chemistry and biology, plus either grade A at AS Level in a subject not studied at A2 or grade A in the Extended Project Qualification. General studies and critical thinking are not accepted. Subjects with material that overlaps (e.g. human biology/sports studies, maths/further maths) may not be offered in combination at A level. "

Then I think they rank you with the UKCAT, provided you meet the criteria above, and then one of the interviews will use your personal statement. :smile:
