The Official "Oh NOES MY UKCAT SCORE SUCKS" the end is nigh Thread

Haha when did I post that?!?! I can't even remember.

I do recall King's using academics (GCSEs mainly) and UKCAT for interviews, and that a higher number of A*s could offset a slightly lower UKCAT. But then again this was at least 3-4 years ago

*waves* I got an average of 607.5, wanted to go to Glasgow but thats out (I will still apply).

I'm still holding out for some devine intervention of some sort lol

I'm limited to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and St.Andrews anyway, so its not throwing away a choice.

Basically, my son is under Yorkhill for kidney stuff, currently we live 1 hour south of Glasgow, if we were to move 1 hour any other direction of Glasgow, we would be within 1hour15mins of Dundee and St.Andrews and still be under Yorkhill for medical stuff.

Can I ask is 630 a bad score? I know that the average last year was 620, but it seems a little depressing that other people have such a high score! I know lots of unis are already out of my range now, but I did igcses, and got 5A* in chemistry, biology, mandarin chinese, math, and economics and As in physics and English. Little afraid that since I have not done millions of GCSEs that I would be counted. (igcses have a whole final exam, no coursework). Would there be any possible chance to go to any medical school??

I got 630 too I'm an international student, which worsens my chances. Would really appreciate a reply on whether this is a bad score or not..

Hey, I need some help? I got an average of 620 and so confused as to where I can apply, so far I've got Bristol and Hull York. I have no idea or options on a 3rd and 4th.

Have you considered
UEA
Keele
Liverpool
Lancaster

UEA - yes, I can't because they don't like the maths/further maths combo
Keele - yes, I'm not sure on their UKCAT weighting, will email them soon.
Liverpool - I heard they have a tough selection process in which basically I dont have a chance.
Lancaster - possible, I'll check them out.

Liverpool and Lancaster both have the same admissions process. The selection process is just first scoring GCSE grades (in which case you would have 18/18)
Then interviewing applicants based on personal statement so it's pretty standard as selection processes go.

I have an average of 745 ( conmprised of 790,790,770,630) so can I apply to kings ? I want to go there but people say its too hard etc.

Hi everyone,

did my ukcat today and scored average 625 which I am quite happy with as i think it's the best I could have done. I know it's not an amazing score my any standard but do you think my options of cardiff, southampton, leicester, leeds, liverpool are realistic for my score? I have 6A*s 4As an a B at GCSE and AAAB (B in chem) at AS level. thanks a lot!
