Official: University of St Andrews A100 2023 Entry

Does it come up as an option as to which route you want to apply for on UCAS? I'm only asking because I replaced one of my medicine uni's with St Andrews after my school submitted my application.

Would these stats be enough to get an interview for St Andrews Medicine?

Cut off seemed to be in the high 2800s last year, so unless you have the 10% contextual uplift, your score may be a little low

Yeah it does, can’t remember specifically what they were but it think had the Scottish roughy, English route, no preference I think as well

Would these stats be enough to get an interview for St Andrews? if any one could advise. Contemplating between St Andrews and Liverpool/Aston(31.5WP) for 4th Option which is why I'm asking. Many thanks in advance.

many thanks for your advice, so overall do you think St Andrews would be a safer option for me than the other 2 unis (Liverpool and Aston 31.5 wp) as a 4th option I mentioned?

Yes, I would have thought so, though you may well interview at the others too. I just think they are riskier

I think you would have missed the cut off last year, but been fine most years before that. I don't know if they cut interview numbers last year, or if they have changed the number of RUK places available, both of which would affect cut offs

hmm ok maybe I'll leave it off, I know the deciles have shifted this year... I know its hard to tell but do you think there'd be any chance at all at an interview?

Thanks a lot for getting back to me, as I was just finalising St Andrews as an option. I wanted to ask if any of the routes( I would ideally chose the English route) on Ucas are more preferable in terms of gaining interviews/offers?

Nope, just choose where you want to study :smile:
