Hi allI have a question to the UCAS application platform. Since my son will be still under 18 at entry, the number of med school choices available are only a handful. Other universities are willing to accept the application for 2023 entry, however they would offer a deferred entry to 2024, if successful. So we decided to mix options in UCAS, i.e., start year 2023 and start year 2024. One of the unis told us that this is not possible as one must enter a single start year in the UCAS platform.I called UCAS and they told me that such 'mixing' is possible as long as the particular uni offers a deferred entry option. Anyone here has experience with this? I want to avoid surprises during the actual application in Oct. Thanks!

The application itself that you start for this year in the 2022/23 cycle will be for 2023 entry unless you click on the defer application option. I believe there’s only one button which defers all of your options, there is no option to mix and match (I.e. some deferred and some not). I will check this with fellow UCAS advisors but for now, assume you can either defer all applications for 2024 or all must be for 2023 entry.

Hey Thanks!
Pls see the first image. This is a screenshot of the first UCAS step from 2021/22 cycle. Is the single button you are mentioning this one?
See the second image. This is the last step where you could choose the start date for a particular school.

The first image simply shows which cycle you’d like your application to be for.

The second image is more relevant to your question I think and allows you to defer your application. If you have that option for all your choices, then you can do a mix and match. If that option is only available once, then if you choose to defer, it applies to all your options.

The second image is more relevant to your question I think and allows you to defer your application. I’ve just checked and you should have the option to choose 2023 or 2024 start for all of your course options, so you can ‘mix and match’ deferrals.

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me out!
Just did my UCAT with a score of 2350 - a very low ucat score. Even though I was achieving over 2600 on medify.
My GCSEs are pretty solid with having 9s and 2 8s.
I'm not sure where to apply.
I have done a bit of research for university options that don't prioritize the UCAT as much.
Eg. Cardiff
Plymouth
Birmingham
Liverpool
I just want an opinion if I should apply to Glasgow. Their ucat cut-off score last year was around 2500. Would it be a good idea or is it too risky?

Yeah I didn’t mention what I was going to do during my gap year so maybe that’s why I asked but I got the email on the 1st November and the deadline to send it was 7th November.

Hi guys I wanted anyone else's thoughts I was looking at Barts admission stats for last year 2021 and 2020 and noticed the number of interviews given last year were much lower than previous years 2020-21 it was lets say like roughly 300ish a bit more I cba to look up exacts however last year less applied than those years being like 623 I wanna say and of that 115 interviews given I did see someone say for 1 year group at Barts the Cohort size was nearly double so I was wondering if you think the drop in ints given was like a knock on affect from that or do you think they are just gonna keep the no. of ints given that low again this window?
