Applying to hyms .

you score 70 points based on last years deciles, which is below last years cutoff of 77

I think I score either 77 or 81

Would that be risky to apply or worth a shot as I scored 2780 B1 so I’m not entirely sure which decile that would be this year?

Thanks

Hi just looking at a bit of advice if possible.
I was wondering post interview if someone could tell me how many points band 2 in SJT would get you? Also, if you just had one contextual point ( as I got ucat bursary) would you get any points post interview?
Finally, I was just wondering if people got their choice of York or Hull and when do they give you the option to choose ?
Thank you.

post int, band 2 gives you around 5 points. it's not about how many contextual criteria you fulfil it's about which ones you do, and pre interview ucat bursary gives you a lot of points so it should do post interview, but the post int contextual scoring works by scaling the points you get to your interview performance (if that makes sense) so it depends on your interview performance on how many points you get. you don't get to choose what campus you get unless you live in the hull york area as specified on their website, you get allocated your campus at the point of offer

what is the 10th decile then - I've never seen a score counted as "tenth" decile?

Hi,

UCAT 2850, band 1
Scored eight 9s and two 8s at GCSE (so highest 5 grades is 5 9s)

Have mitigating circumstances

What would my score be for HYMS and is it a safe option?

10th decile last year was a score of above 2880. the score quoted for each decile on the ucat website is the top of each decile, so 2880 is the top of the 9th decile.

81, and it should be ok, as cutoff last year was 77

2023 entry was 77, basically the cutoffs are going up year on year, but it may not increase this year due to gcse grade deflation

thank you, there's no way it would have increased by that much though?

12 gcses (9 9s, one eight, one 7, and grade A maths igcse at the age of 11)
ucat 2910 band 3, predicted A*A*A (chemistry, biology, Maths) and achived EPQ A*. Is this worth applying. I have heard that hull york medicine admission is heavily contextual based. is this true? live in manchester

2022 entry was 73, so it increased by 4 points from 2022 to 2023
