I got ACCC which I am really disappointed and shocked with. Do you reckon I still have a chance of being considered with a high UKCAT score..providing I get predicted 3 As? I am going to resit most modules.
At GCSE I got 4A*s 8As and 1B and I have done a week of work experience and will be doing another two weeks this summer followed by a week in a hospital. I have also done some work experience abroad.
Would it be better to take a gap year and apply with my A2 grades? Just really worried because I know 2017 entry is going to be slightly different.

Hey guys,
So I got BBBC in my AS results ( I know there not ideal :frown: )
B in chemistry, ICT and Maths and the C in Biology
I am 7 ums off an A in Chemistry, 1ums off an A in ICT and 9 ums off a B in Biology ( resitting biology)
(I am dropping maths next year)
I qualify for the access scheme for both newcastle and leeds university which means I could potential get my grades lowered to ABB
If I get predicted AAB in chemistry, ICT and biology do I stand a chance

I am really worried


Hiya, I know about the acccess scheme for leeds but cannot find anything about the newcastle one. Could you send me a link to the page? Thank you!!!

I got AAA in my AS levels in Maths, Biology and Chemistry and then got an E!!!!! in History!! Do you think I can still get in?! I have no idea how I got an E!! I'm planning on retaking the History exam but am worried that universities will see the E I got for AS and reject me.. ANY ADVICE?


apply to unis that dont need a fourth AS (every uni other than kings manchester plymouth and barts) dont worry you did well and im sure it wont affect your chances

Hey guys,

so at GCSE I got 4A*'s 5A's 2B's and AAAA in my AS levels. I have the required work experience and more also should be able to sort out a good personal statement. My UKCAT score however is 625, will this be a major problem??? Any suggestions where to apply other than Bristol?

Thanks, much appreciated!

Hi there,
In what way is the 2017 entry going to be different?

The entry requirements will be slightly different because AS grades will be worth 40% and current Y11 will not be sitting AS levels after a year. Universities are yet to publish the entry requirements for 2017 but QMUL ask for AAA/B for 2016 but for 2017 entry will not be asking for the B at AS.

Which unis should you avoid with a UKCAT score of 625?...which unis emphasise on UKCAT mostly?

Thanks.

kings and barts put emphasis on it
i know a girl that got interviews at plymouth leeds and sheffield with 620
but with plymouth they have cut offs so if youre considerably low on one section avoid that too
Would 670 Band 1 be good enough for Kings and Barts?

Your personal statement is most important at this stage! Get their attention and you get interviews! Best of luck, if you need any advice please don't hesitate.
That depends on your rest of the application

for kings last year 690 was a 'competitive score' but that doesnt necessarily mean you wouldnt get in with 670 its a good score

Do you happen to know which uni's don't put an emphasis on it? I have a score of 617 and I don't know where to apply with it and whether or not it's a good score. I know Bristol don't use it :smile:
Thanks in advance!
