Hi reubenn, i just saw the 2023 preliminary scores and my score of 2540 which was normally 6th decile would now put me at 5th decile 😣 i got Vr 630, 550,720,640 band 1 so would score 76 (i think i would be contextual as i got the bursary and first in my family to go to uni) would it still be safe applying to HYMS with last year’s cut off being 76? Im so upset!!

the final deciles will be lower than than the prelims, so your score should still be 6th decile

2022 was 41.5%, but this is likely to be a bit lower than usual due to number of deferrals

For general information click: https://www.hyms.ac.uk/medicine

For entry requirements click: https://www.hyms.ac.uk/medicine/appl...y-requirements

How to score your application: multiply your UCAT decile by 4 (max 40 points), top 6 GCSEs: grade 9 = 5, 8 = 4, 7 = 3, etc. (up to 30 points), SJT band 1 = 15 points, band 2 may be around 10 pts, band 3 around 5 points. Contextual (up to 15 points):

•

Care experience or care leaver* – 15 points

•

Refugee status – 15 points

•

Contextual data markers (not to be used in addition to care or refugee status):

•

Recipient of the UCAT Bursary – 8 points

•

Home postcode is in POLAR 1 – 4 points or POLAR 2 – 3 points. You can check your postcode on the Office for Students website

•

First in your family to go to university – 3 points

•

Applicants who have satisfactorily completed one of the our recognised widening participation programmes and who do not meet any of the above three criteria, or who only meet one of the criteria, are awarded points as follows:

•

Widening participation programme – 7 points

•

Widening participation programme and one criteria – 7 points and criteria points

Cutoff last year - 77
N.b. this scoring system (apart from the contextual scoring, which is clear on the website) is just the best guess of what it is, and may not be wholly accurate.

General TSR rules:
(1) Please don't ask for, advertise or mention group chats.
(2) Please don't ask for or post interview questions.
(3) Please don't offer to buy and sell items.

Good luck!

HEALTH WARNING! Unless Reubenn05 has some data to support this model then i recommend you ignore. Appreciate it's caveated but unless there's some provenance (reubenn05??) then it's just a guess and shouldn't be relied upon.

i literally said it's an estimate in the post, and there is evidence to back it up as people below the calculated cutoff got rejected, and people who got the cutoff score got interviews :smile:

If it's a guess then i don't think it was advisable to post it.

but it has evidence to back it up, and it generally helps people assess their interview chances...

Apologies reubenn05. Please could you share with the forum the evidence that underpins your model (not just the cut-off).

Hiya, do you think the cutoff of 77 will decrease this coming year, stay the same or increase?

Reply 94

I think that demonstrates my point. There's no evidence to support this. This is just amplifying other peoples guesses. Ignore.

might decrease but only slightly due to gcse grade deflation, or stay the same, as number of band 1s has gone up. wouldn't expect it to increase though
