You can apply to Exeter OR Plymouth?

I was talking to somebody today and they said you're likely to only get only one offer from either Plymouth or Exeter!

I don't know which to pick, my heart is set on Exeter but then I think I have a stronger chance for Plymouth. I'd rather apply to Exeter though but I don't want to take such a big risk!

Stats are 2A* 8As, ABBC (predicted A*AA) and 700 band 1
Why do you have a stronger chance at Plymouth?

I believe they have lower standards for UKCAT and academics, whereas Exeter require predictions of A*AA and a solid UKCAT (last year's cutoff was 697.5)!

:/ Do ya see my problem

Universities don't know where else you've applied so this is nonsense. Just apply to both because they genuinely will not know. Exeter is harder to get into, but they won't reject you because you've applied to Plymmy, and Plymmy won't reject you because you've applied to Exeter because.... they will not know and even if they did know, they don't know if you've got an offer from Exeter. Simple.

Exeter and Plymouth used to be part of peninsula medical school. About 2 years ago, the two universities split and now have their own medical schools so they are no longer "together". They should be now treated as two different medical schools and so are not related to each other in any way, including selection procedures.

Apply to both if you want, you have nothing to worry about (I'm applying for both lol)!
