Really they wouldnt consider me? I thought my gcses and ukcat are too low. I had a chat with quite a few of the EMP students and there was one who applied for the standard A101 and this one. Most of the current EMP students had As at A level. Might actually email them and ask again. Thank you for pointing it out

This is the FAQs they sent me.
I guess you still could apply, but you stand a better chance at the five year course because your grades are really high and predicted grades.
Where else are you applying?

Due to my low UKCAT the only uni I can think of is Keele, I will be taking the BMAT for ICL

Your UKCAT score is not low?
That's a really good score...

Hey I just emailed them and they said the same thing as @Bubbasmam that it will in no way disadvantage me. And if i am worried about the UKCAT I should apply for A101 and A100.

Hi guys,
Does anyone have a link to the list of eligible schools?

Ahh no need to say sorry! Good luck for your application

hi guys, what do you think my chances are:

GCSE: 2.5A* 6A 1B
AS: AAAB (biology, maths, psychology and chemistry)
Predicted: AAA and A in EPQ

also applying to st georges, imperial and maybe queen mary(depends on ukcat)

does any one know the weight put on the ukcat on the emdp?? thanksss

How do kings emdp use the UKCAT?

I emailed them and this is what they said regarding the UKCAT.

We require all of our EMDP applicants to take the UKCAT, however, it is not used in the same way as for applications to the Medicine (A100) programme. For neither programmes do we state a 'threshold' or 'cut-off' score that must be achieved for an application to be successful. But for the EMDP programme we do not consider UKCAT scores as one of our primary selection criteria as we do for A100, and do not expect a certain level of score. We require you to have taken the test, but weaker scores on UKCAT do not necessarily hinder applications.Instead, EMDP applications are considered holistically, and we take into consideration contextual information, academic profile, personal statement, reference, engagement with the subject, experience, interests and skills. We are then able to form a complete profile of the candidate and determine their suitability for the course.

Beautiful!
Thank you for checking this out
I got a score of 610 unfortunately but I'm happy they don't use it as much.
A lot of people are doing the 6 year course at my school so I'm scared it's going to be really competitive.

Yeah ikr. I'd try and make your PS as strong as possible
What are your stats like? And what are the stats of those 6 like?

This course is really competitive! I hope we can get in

I think my PS is quite strong
I really like it

Yeah, because it's the only university in London which does a foundation course, apart from Queen Mary, but there is a scheme for that too for particular students only.
My stats aren't great,
GCSE: I got 4A*'s, 4A's and 3B's.
And AS: BBBD
And predicted: AAA

The other students got pretty good grades, higher than me actually.


Wbu? What are your stats like?
