UCL Medical School 2015 Entry

I got:

5.4
4
3.5A

Is my below average score in S2 gonna get me a rejection?

Remember that UCL don't use cut offs and decide holistically. People with all sections below average have had interviews before. Although on one the selection procedure PDF it says that those with scores below the average for their cohort are unlikely to be successful. Not sure how they come up with a total average but since they say they don't use cut offs your lower than average s2 shouldn't be a problem

Okay! Thank you very much!

Their selection procedure thing is confusingly worded, it doesn't make clear whether just one score below average means you're likely to be unsuccessful or if it's the whole thing.

I mean if I add it up:

UCL Average = 4.7 + 4.7 + 3.2 = 12.6

Me = 5.4 + 4 + 3.5 = 12.9

So I guess I'm just above a total average assuming they give equal weighting to each section.

I wanted to email them about it but they are telling us to stop emailing about the bmat since its not the only thing they use to select candidates. I remember reading somewhere that they rank all applicants based off their ucas content and then rank them again after bmat results have been released. What are your GCSEs and AS levels like?

I do a linear course so I do my AS and A2 exams next summer, but at the open day they said this means they assume As at AS if you are predicted A at A2. I'm predicted A*A*A*A A*(EP)

IGCSEs are 9 A*s and 2 As.

I know UCL use the essay during interview, but will they read everyone's essays prior to the interview as part of the selection process, or just use the scores?

Hey guys just want u r opinion on my chances

BMAT: 4.1 4 4A
AS: AAAA
Prediction: A*A*A*
GCSEs:5As 3Bs
Excellent refernce and p's hopefully

Good AS results and A2 predictions. Bit weaker on GCSEs but according to the selection procedure pdf , GCSEs are used as a general indicator of academic performance but your predictions suggest that you've made a good improvement and thus strong motivation to study. Your section 1 and 2 for BMAT are below the average(4.7) but people have got interviews with lower than average results.

So disappointed because my BMAT section 1 and 2 scores are below the average- with section 1 being substantially below (although I did get 5A in S3, so there's that) and UCL say it's unlikely that you'll be successful if your scores are below your cohort average
