That would be perfect for Exeter! And we got exactly the same UKCAT score!

Nice one. The admissions team at Exeter usually replies to emails swiftly; let me know what they say.

Can confirm that it is definitely the overall score not subtests.

What do you think this years cut off will be?

I know Plymouth definitely score the subtests but I'm not sure that Exeter do as this is off their website:

'Applications will be sorted according to academic profile and overall UKCAT score in order to determine which applicants will receive an offer of an interview.'

Not sure though, I've emailed to find out.

-waves- hai! Hopefully I'll also be applying with A*A* predictions too

Yay! Fingers crossed for both of us. I'm going in to discuss my reference and predictions today (and to steer them in the right direction!) and then I'm all good to go! Where else have you decided?

Ikr! I'm gonna sort that out ASAP with my school. UEA, Liverpool and BSMS, you?

Definitely QUB and Leicester (although worried about my band 2 SJT as that goes towards the interview score) and the either Newcastle or Plymouth (depending on which I'm more likely to meet the cutoff for as my QR is pretty low at 640!)

I think Plymouth you'll be fine, their QR cut off is lower than that. I haven't seen a huge number of people with Band 1s too, so I don't think it will affect you that much, fingers crossed! Newcastle is nice too though, and your UKCAT is great so you'd probably get yourself an interview... How's personal statement writing etc going?

Personal statement I'm pretty happy with (although the places I'm applying to don't seem to really focus on it, more just in borderline cases) - been writing it for a while so is constantly being edited. Struggling to fit everything in, which I suppose is a good sign! Plymouth's cutoff for QR last year was 650, all others have been lower but this year QR scores seem really high on average! I probably prefer newcastle anyway so we'll see what happens.

Wouldn't it be funny if we both get interviews on the same day haha - GOOD LUCK. I know everyone says that but I genuinely really hope we both succeed! Exeter is definitely my first choice so a bit annoying they start their interviews so early as I may not get to practise much beforehand!

Is there any point applying to Exeter if I've got achieved grades of AAA and they want A*s? My UKCAT was 687.5 average

Has anyone had a reply from Exeter?
