Lowest BMAT acceptance ...

Hiya,

I know BMAT time is over. But i was wondering whats the lowest people have got and still been excepted to the BMAT Uni's.

Knowing that I'm going to have 2 go through it next year. I tried my luck on it 2day and it was sooooo hard lol

Cheers

Hafzal! :smile:

Hey, i got 16.4 and i'm at UCL now. One of my friends got 15.3 and she's here as well!

ALTHOUGH it is quite a rarity, most people here have around the 19-21.5 mark....

It's not a rarity... Far from it... You must just be around a clever bunch of people... Anywayz, you got nowt to worry about... What you get in a stupid intelligence test is no indication of how you'll do in the end of the years...

Btw, when I was in the 1st year... We were all paranoid that we'd fail... but trust me when you see that every single person you knew passed - even those that didn't really diserve to - you'll look back and realise how pointless worrying about it all was... So chill when you have your exams... and don't stress about the formatives... It ain't worth it... I messed up the November ones but did amazing in the end of years...

Hey, thought you may be interested to know that I an interview from UCL the day after I sat my BMAT, so they can't have got my BMAT result already. The result clearly doesn't always matter, don't worry about it.

Well those who have done really badly and still got in tend to have been given interviews before the BMAT results were released (for UCL). I think it's given a lot of weight.

Thanks for the advice, but i'm not worrying. I know the BMAT means nothing in terms of natural intelligence as i'm picking up and remembering work much quicker than my friends who got str8 A*s and good BMAT's!

Previous academics really dont matter!

...Formative results tomorrow, so we'll see then! lol

I got the last interview date of the session, altho i dont know whether my results is classed as 'really bad'.... the essay let me down (having read thru it again, 6 was a V generous score!)

How do you know, what do you mean by formative results? I thought they purely came out on the 30th.

I'm AT UCL now. I'm in my first year and we just got back our exam results....

Having received a v bad BMAT score (one of the worst in my year), i then went on to come in the 82nd percentile! (i.e. better than 82% of the year)....

Congratulations...

I've heard that they've changed the OSPE...

Do you not have to do embryology and histology in it anymore?

I got an "F" in embryology last year... So I'm hoping that they've got rid of it...
