Official: Aston University A100 2024 Entry Applicant thread

Now I'm year 13 international student.
I score my GCSE 22/24
I achieved A level math got A*
Ucat score 8/12
Does Aston have additional score for achieved A level grade ?
Is 30 enough to interview?

that shouldn't be risky, a 32.5 cutoff would mean a 2800+ ucat and max gcse points, which seems unlikely, as that is a rise of 200 ucat points. because of gcse grade deflation and aston upping the a level requirements the cutoff is unlikely to rise by much if at all imo

what do you think it will fall to? i've got 29.5 (non WP) and A*AA

2690 B2
999988888875
i think i score 31.5? is that risky for non contextual or is it safe enough to apply,

yes you score 31.5 as long as the 7 and 5 are not in core subjects. it shouldn't be risky, due to gcse grade deflation.

Hi,

I am a repeat candidate. Scored AAB and resitting B in chemistry. Predicted A*/A
UCAT 2720, SJT Band 2
GCSEs 9A* 1A (Northern Ireland )
Aston score will be 32.
Worth applying to Aston?

yes, cutoff was 31.5 last year and will probably either decrease slightly or stay the same

I’ve got 29.5 is it okay to apply

Hi,

Would Aston be a safe choice with a UCAT score of 2730 and GCSE scores of 9 9 9 9 (Math, Phy, Chem, Bio) 8 8 (English language, literature) 7 (Art & Design) 6 (Music)? I calculated my score as 32 but unsure if this is correct.

Many thanks!

should be ok, cutoff was 31.5 last year

Would I be safe with a score of 31.5 (WP) this year? I think last year’s cut off for WP was 30.5??

yes, that should be ok, i think the cutoff will either stay the same or decrease by 0.5

Thank you!
I was initially stuck between Aston and Keele but I think I’ll go for Aston as keele are mostly using personal statements this year, am I right in saying?
