Hi guys! I've been predicted A*A*A with 2640 Band 2, but I have extenuating circumstances (not sure how many points they increase the score by due to this?), meaning I'm coming to 85. I desperately want to go to Exeter, but what do you guys think?

As per the admissions policy, you would need to complete an Extenuating Circumstances form and they would then assess the situation and decide from there, so there is no what of knowing if they would increase things by the 10 points that would have been needed last year, but generally, ExCircs allowances are not massive, wrt exams

Hi there
My daughter is planning to apply for Medicine next year but her UCAT score didn’t go very well under 2500 and (SJT 3).
She has good academics, work experience and volunteering experience. GCSE 8 A* and Al level predicted grades are A* A* A
Is it still advisable to apply as most of the Universities are looking at high UCAT score.
Thanks in advance

Hi I am afraid Exeter is likely to be a no unfortunately. (This is the Exeter thread).

It is what it is. Find ucat on left and predicted on right. Your score is the intersection.

Where it becomes hard to read is that Exeter do something wierd with their deciles, so just ignore the 1-9 on the left imo as these make little sense against deciles (ie split into 10) if you are above the ucat number on the left then you take the score marked against your predicted grades.

Then read down to see if you are eligible for any additional points.

Good luck

Thank you for the reply! The 25% ucat and 75% grades threw me off, i thought the score was based on gcse grades.
How do I know if I can apply by looking at the chart. For example if i am in 4th decile predicted AAA and contextual, my score will be 70. Can I apply?

yes you do have a good chance at interview, as you have the maximum points of 100 if contextual. the interview to offer ratio is pretty good, i think it was 68% for the latest data available (2022)

exeter's shortlisting system is 75% predicted/achieved a levels and 25% ucat. your actual decile would be 8th, but your exeter decile would be 7th, as exeter work out the deciles incorrectly.
