Official: Brighton and Sussex (BSMS) A100 2023 Entry Applicants and Offer Holders

I also have exactly 23.4 so I really hope you are right about the cut off!
i fear it might be around 25, but many found section 2 the hardest this year and we don’t know how many applicants they have and how many they interview so another agonising waiting time…

In theory it should be 22.8 if last year it was 17.3 out of 28, but we shall see

Do you think if I were to call them up, they would reveal the number of applications they've received this year?

Someone earlier in this chat said they were told
they have about 2000, probably a little more like similar to last year (2300) I would imagine

Ah okie, hopefully applicant numbers have gone down 🙏

I also hope so, but I can’t really imagine why less people would apply to Brighton…

Apparently people were put off by the 6 in s2 thinking they actually needed a 6 (as in not doubling). I know a few people who were put off by that so we never know

So you double your s2 score and then it must be above 6. How is the s3 score calculated

Yep, that's right. For s3, its your s3 score plus the score for the letter grade. A= 5 points,
B= 4, C=3, D=2, E=1

What about section 1?

Oh it makes sense! Even if just a couple of hundreds less applied because of the confusion on the scoring of section 2 it would be good news! 🤞

Yeah, it's almost certain the cut off will be greater than 17.3. They didn't double s2 scores last year- this year they are so it's really hard to tell and so annoying too

But, the average seems to have gone down so not impossible I guess

We'll find out soon enough- invites were sent around 14th dec last year (iirc) so not long left now.

I’m literally going mad thinking about it since BSMS was my only BMAT uni. I do have one other interview from ARU and am waiting to here back from my other two ucat unis (it’s still early days so I’m not too worried but it’s in the back of my mind). I know if I applied last year with this score I would’ve met the cut off so I hope it’s the same this year. This doubling of section 2 is throwing me off but my score doubled is 9 so idk.

How’s 26.6 for international

Hi there I only got 5.4, 4.5 in s2 and 3A. But I meet their contextual data. Do you think I still stand a chance? It's really frustrating becuase last year I would have met their cut i o

I think you stand a chance with 22.4 contextual, assuming the cut off for non contextual is 22.8, but the problem is that we don’t really know number of applicants/results/number of interviews… so basically we don’t really know the cut off!
