University of Nottingham A100 2023 entry Applicant and Offer Holders thread

Original post by maple26

I have 136 pts... reading the above posts it looks like there may be safer options? Especially as I am on a gap year this is vital to me.
Does anyone have any advice as to whether it is risky for me to get an interview with these pts or I'm better off applying elsewhere?

I would be happy applying with 136, and I am pretty risk averse!

Hi @Ganfyd
I’m sorry to ask this but your advice is welcomed - I have a dilemma over my forth choice -
I score 132 for Nottingham
UCAT 2780 band 1
What do you think would be my safest application out of the following
Nottingham
Liverpool
Southampton
I’m slightly concerned about the interview to offer rate at Liverpool or so you feel it may return to the more normal rate this year.
I’m about to hand in applications this week and would really appreciate your thoughts.
Location of uni is no object and I like the course structure in each uni.
Many thanks

I don't think it is out of 120... someone posted the way they score pts earlier in this thread I think , you will probs find it there .

Liverpool is the safest in terms of getting an inteview, but as you say, likely has the worst interview to offer ratio. I think the rate will increase, but Liverpool have always been at the lower end of the med schools for interview to offer
The other 2 are more risky, but I would hope you would interview at both of them

For School leavers, it is out of 152, with GCSEs added on

Is 96 points too low for a grad application?

Hi, I'm thinking of applying to Nottingham for medicine, my points add up to 129/152, as I got 2500 band 1 on the UCAT. Does anyone know the points cut off for Nottingham and if I have a chance of being offered an interveiw?

Hey guys,

I finished Sixth Form last year, and I'm about to enter my second gap year. I think I have 111/152 points - is this too risky and could someone check this for me? My stats are as follows:

GCSE: 999988887
A-Levels: AAAA* (Bio,Chem,Maths,EPQ respectively)
Gap Years: 2
Contextual: Yes
UCAT: 2590 SJT 2

Thanks a ton :smile:

I don't know anything abiout internationals, but that is an excellent score and would be fine for a UK applicant

Cut off was around 127-129 last year, but Nottingham is likely to be affected by the massive grade inflation about this year

Depends how much you like Nottingham, how safe your other options are and how much risk you are prepared to accept.
I would not, if I had other options, but you are not me!
