Hi,
I got 2630 UCAT and SJT Band 1. I got 14 A*s in GCSE (im from Wales) so i'm guessing that is 30/30 points. I think I've got 28/40 for UCAT points and 15/15 for SJT points. I'm the first in family to go to uni so 3 points. In total I have 76 points. Would that be competitive or under the cutoff for this year?
Thanks

I would score 76 :/ Do you think still worth applying to HYMS as the cut off was 77 last year?

what are your stats; you may have safer options. gcse grade deflation could mean the cutoff comes down slightly, but ucat still accounts for 40%, so it may depend on where the deciles end up lying

AAA predictions, 9999999998 GCSE and 2540 band 1 ucat. I also received the UCAT bursary and first in my family to go to uni and I hace exceptional cirsumstances so I am elegible for contex offers from HYMS and Leeds. I am a bit hesistant to apply to leeds even though I could get an offer of ABB since its their first time using the ucat and my ucat isn't the best. I am doing the BMAT to apply to imperial.

Do you know if this is the same scoring for the gateway year course

i think so, with extra points for local applicants

I did think it was 5th decile as on the official UCAT website for 2022 it says 6th decile is 2570 :frown:. are u sure 2540 would be 6th?

Really? Do you know how many extra points they are given because I’m not local

it doesn't specify how many, it just says local applicants are prioritised at every stage of the application process, so i assume they are given extra points
I think it needs to be made clear early on in this thread that HYMS have never released how exactly they score other than 'up to 40 points for GCSE' type thing, and I'd be very surprised if the scoring was completely linear (eg 4 points per decile), this means you probably can't calculate your own score in any particularly meaningful way, and anyone here who tries is also just guessing. Don't get too hung up on playing the numbers game, or at least be aware that it's kind of a rough guess only.

i have made it clear on the opening post, and i would be surprised if hyms didn't score ucat linearly, as other med schools who score a combination of gcses/ucat/other things score ucat linearly/according to deciles
