Aberdeen Medicine 2016 Entry

Hi I am a rest of UK applicant does anybody know how much preference they give to Scottish applicants? because I applied last year with A2 prediction:A*A*A and UKCAT:655 and got rejected pre-interview. As I am pretty sure that Scottish applicants got offers with worse/the same stats.

what are you current stats?

I have A-level: A*A*A* acheived
UKCAT: 705 Band 2
GCSE: 10 A*
but a bit put off applying since I got rejected last time, seems to be extra competitive for rest of UK students

those are amazing stats and im sure Aberdeen will only look at achieved A levels and UKCAT. Can't see why they'd reject you when they interviewed 130 RUK students last year

Thank you and yeah that isn't really that many though I think I'll stick to the english unis as this quota makes me think Id have a better chance at them.

yeah i've got 3 english uni's and trying to decide between Dundee, Glasgow and Aberdeen as my 4th. My GCSE's are crap so I need a UKCAT heavy uni haha

haha Im going for one scottish one too but St Andrew's, it's odd not many ppl seem to mention that uni for medicine though

hi,

do you have into regarding how aberdeen ranks applicants for interview?

I have A-level: A*A*A* acheived
UKCAT: 705 Band 2
GCSE: 10 A*
but a bit put off applying since I got rejected last time, seems to be extra competitive for rest of UK students

Hi, after the interview process, does Aberdeen make offers based solely on interview performance, or add up total interview scores+academic+ukcat to rank applicants?

It's an accumulative total of all aspects of the application!

I really like the look of Aberdeen but I'm tentative that they apparently prioritise Scottish applicants!

Hi
A quick advice from your guys. I am international applicant with 7* and 2 A in GCSE and 4 A in AS for A level predicted four A*. In UKCAT first four section score is 2850 unfortunately band 4 in SJT can you guys suggest some medical schools with my criteria. I have shortlisted Aberdeen, Queens Belfast, Bristol and Cardiff.
Much appreciate your suggestions

Hi... Hearing à lot about Aberdeen favouring Scottish applicants despite this being highly illegal from an EU standpoint, I'm sure it goes on. However could any current students shed any light as to whether there are many Irish students studying medicine there. Unsure as to whether my ukcat score of 675 band 1 be enough for Aberdeen??

Any help appreciated!
