It may have more entries because it has more spaces, but I'd say Imperial was harder to get into.

Well, the BMAT is terrifying lol.

so far having done the UKCAT i found that more traumatics than a test which actually tests knowledge minus the essay part!!

dont know about other people but for starters i find information writen on paper much easier to assimilate quickly than on a computer screen

although timing is key in BMAT i found the UKCAT far more stressful timewise
content wise they are not that different apart from the essay cos you'll prob be doing chem and bio so the level of science isnt hard.

essay spacewise is hard (you only have one page) but its only really 4 paragraphs
spelling out what the statement states and outlining a few key points
arguments for
areguments against
conclusion

Well. GKT probably does have the highest number of entry routes with 4-Year, 5-Year and 6-Year courses.

Other than that, it is essentially the same, at this level it doesn't really matter whether there are ten applicants per place or eleven.

However, the two schools look for slightly different types students, for example, rugby players for ICSM and gangstas for GKT.

I guess I better leave, then.

Thanks, i also found the UKCAT, really boaring and i could not be boathered to read all that information, i was making me fall asleep.

Your summary of the essay was really helpful, and exaclty all BMAT takers will be doing the Sciences(chem+ bio) so it shouldnt be all that hard.

What did you get in your UKCAT? and i also find thinking on paper sometimes easier.

640 i think

clank

640 i think

and then in your BMAT?

i got 520,530,550,530 for UKCAT

It is nice to be guaranteed a place. I wonder if they would have even looked at my application if i hadn't got that minimum score.. lol (not putting you off, it was just something i wondered after as they evidently didn't like me much :p:
