Hey guys I'm thinking of applying to Sheffield to study medicine. Do you think a score of 2750 for the UKCAT is good enough to get me an interview or a place?


YES! Are you joking? That's more than enough.

They only look at UKCAT to make sure you have over 2510 so yay, if you have that plus the academic requirements its 100% on personal statement

Oh yes I'm so happy, I have a fairly good personal statement so I hope I get an interview! I thought that the 2510 score was for the 2015 entry cycle and I wonder how they decided on the threshold without having the UK cat scores of all applicants in hand. Thank you very much!

I guess I'll be applying then!
Hi, i got 2600 UKCAT StJ band 4..., have 5A*, A and C in gcse (had 4 months to do them). I got 3B and 2A in As which is crap but im predictd A*A*AA in A2. Very good personal statement, but i dont know which uni to apply to. Sheffields looks pretty good but looking at other peoples comments, everyone seems better and its abit discouraging, and im kind of lost with where to apply. Thanks you :smile:

Keele? They only get rid of the bottom 5% which tends to be people in the 500s??

I was thinking Keele, they dont look at StJ apparently but they say no one has gotten in with STJ4 because people that get that have crap UKCAT, so ill think about it. Keele, Sheffields and Leicester maybe?

Ye id consider Leicester. You could give Keele a call but worth putting down anyway as a choice. What about Liverpool?

Do you think leicester's cut-off will go up, down or stay the same? And do they look at PS much?:smile:
Hi i got almost the same results as Malcolm above. Ukcat 2610, sjt band 4!!!! a levels exam all pending. Now im wondering if a band 4 in sjt is considered a no-go for all medical schools? Im applying for sheffield, st george, plymouth, and leicester. DO u think my choices are risky??? thanks
I'm applying here! Hi :tongue:
HI!! what are ur choices, if u dont mind?
Heyyy I got 630 average with all A predictions and 3A*s 3As and 2Bs in GCSE . Any ideas on which medical school will be lenient with these? Hoping for keele/Sheffield/hyms/Nottingham/Liverpool

Also is it true that Sheffield don't allow as resits as in planning to resit a module in year 13?

Do Sheffield accept resit within the two years? So can I resit a Chemistry module in Year 13? :smile:


I asked this at their open day, and the admission tutor himself said that they will accept modular resits, but not a resit of a whole AS level. You should be fine to resit a module :smile:
