Can I get into Birmingham Med school?
I am a year 13 student applying to undergrad courses in medicine. On Birmingham website, it says that the median score for contextual interviewees was 8.8, however I was confused as the median UCAT was 2770 and the median GCSE result was 4.5. My UCAT is 2670, and I calculated a score higher than this.
Also on the website it says that an extra 2 points are allocated for non specified subjects, but then how would the maximum scaled score be 4.5? I got all A* so I just gave myself a full score.
I received straight (12) A*s - 4.5
2670 band 1 UCAT - 3.11111
Contextual POLAR4 quintile 2 and from a welsh state school - 1.5
4.5+1.5+3.111 = 9.1. Have I calculated this correct? How come my score is higher than the average contextual even though my UCAT is lower? If anyone could confirm this for me and give me advice on whether I can apply to Birmingham med I would be so grateful!
