Where to apply? Kind of urgent.

Hey, so the deadline is closing in and I have yet to decide where to apply.
I have a 40 in the IB with 6s in Chem and Bio as well as a 670 Band 2 in the UKCAT. I;d say I have a decent personal statement.

I'm applying to Bristol and UEA, however I need help deciding the other 2.
Given my UKCAT score I need universities that aren't very heavy on it. What about Nottingham?

Would really appreciate some advice!

Don't apply to Nottingham - they're relatively elitist

Leicester and Plymouth

Leicester seems nice. I would score fairly highly on their scoring system even with my terrible UKCAT score. I'm not too keen on Plymouth. :frown:

Is there any other place where you think It's appropriate to apply to?

Thanks a lot! :biggrin:

Doesn't Manchester have high UKCAT requirements? My UKCAT is what's limiting everything. :frown:

Manchester only need 660 to meet their cut off for 2016 entry, according to someone's informations received from the open day last Saturday. So if that is only factor worrying you, then you will be fine. ( and they don't use the SJ scores for 2016 entry as well)

Is this a guide or for certain? I have 657.5 and wish to apply to Manchester

The only way to find out for certainty is to phone them directly.
