Warwick gem (a101) 2016 entry applicants

Warwick and probably 5 year Newcastle or Durham. This could change on October 9th when the deciles come out, as a swing in the scores would mean I could apply for 4 year Newcastle, but I'm not hopeful. My other 2 choices will be GAMSAT unis.

Sounds like a similar plan to me except my 5 year is Sheffield.

I heard somewhere (It's a long shot I can't remember where but it's stuck in my head) that Warwick prefer if the applications are sent in early rather than late, I did feel like it doesn't make sense as the universities dont' get our UKCAT results until after we've applied... but have you heard anything like that?

That makes no sense. Like you said, they can't rank by UKCAT before the deadline because they don't have the results.

I'm glad this thread exists! My work experience has been gathered through full time agency working so is super varied but obviously would not be able to go to each place from the last year and get it signed off?

It's the second one! They told us at the open day that UKCAT score is the 'gateway' to the interview (together with passing the work experience requirements), then it's sort of a clean slate.

Hi everyone, I was hoping to apply for this course, but unfortunately I didn't do so well in my UKCAT. I got 650 in verbal but only 635 overall. Sigh.

It's pretty frustrating knowing that I'm no where near the cut off points from recent years, but at the same time, the cut off point isn't made official until after they've received everyone's applications, so it COULD be much lower this year. However, I think this is just wishful thinking - it seems extremely unlike the cut off will drop to 2540 (my score).

I have a 1st class masters degree but I doubt this is going to make much difference.

Anyone else in a similar position? That is, disappointed by their UKCAT score and accepting they probably won't be making an application. And maybe feeling a bit sad.

Checked my notes from the Warwick open day earlier this year about their process.

(1) They rank everyone by UKCAT VR score and exclude those with less than mean average score. According to UKCAT website mean average VR score for 2014 was 571.

(2) Then rank remaining by total UKCAT score and award points per band.

(3) Points are added for academic achievement (2:1, masters, PhD).

(4) Everyone is ranked by combined point score and the top 400-450 are invited to submit details of work experience (my recollection is this will be around November/December time, it's the first time they've done it this way).

(5) Then, they'll invite around 350-400 to an assessment centre (meaning some will be excluded based on work experience). Assessment centre was March this year, they said hoping for earlier for 2016.

The selection centre is 7-10th Jan this year so I'm assuming they will send the w/e forms asap after the ucas deadline to get them back in time for the interview offers to be sent out

Guys 667.5 ukcat with a 2.1 in Physiology. 570 VR 😔

I have 10 months paid WE at GP practice as a HCA but that isn't relevant unless you get the form after cut off!

Is it worth me applying or shall I apply to another 5 year instead?

I think if I were you I'd use the application place for another course, because the VR score of 570 is right on last year's cut off (this year may be lower, no way of knowing) and if your total score is 2670, this wouldn't have met last year's cut off (which was 2800 I think). Sorry to sound so brutal, but given we only get four places, it pays to be tactical!
