How much does predicted grades matter for medicine if you've reached the minimum num?

Say the minimum is AAA and you get A*AA or A*A*A or A*A*A*, do the 3 matter by a lot or would someone who gets A*A*A be at a massive disadvantage compared to someone who gets A*A*A*?

Context please - if you just wanna go into med as long as you have the minimum entry requirements and you have a good UCAT score and personal statement you should be able to get an interview

Sadly, many people with apparently good stats dont get interviews.

It is important, however good your stats are, to clearly understand the admission and selection policies of the med schools you are applying for.

Anything less than 12 A* at GCSE and 3A* in all sciences at A level, and well over 3000 on UCAT and its best to apply strategically.

Even then, if you applied to somewhere like Keele with those stats and no work experience, then its a wasted application, Bristol however might be fine.

Its all down to how they select for interview. If you dont get an interview then you cant shine.

The vast majority of people do not have stats like that and really, really, need to apply strategically.

Unexpected things can trip anybody up.

This is why the "what uni megathread" is on part 5 and going strong !

Honestly I would disagree 3000 is way too high I would suggest something like 2850+ for most unis and 3a*s is overkill I know so many people who got into med with As if anything I got into med with A*AA. most people aren’t chosen based on either their UCAT or their personal statement.
