ukcat results given to uni's on 5th nov

Most people have been saying 8th Nov.
And apparently St Andrews are going to increase the UKCAT cut-off

Just googled and it seems you are correct - UKCAT twitte

Where did you hear that? What they raising it to?

On one of the other medicine forums (newmediamedicine).
The poster said that they have 670 and were told they should just be alright

Big jump from 614.25, eh?

It's funny that you say that. After all this discussion I wound up calling them as well--the woman told me that everything we'd heard was just gossip and they'd only just downloaded the UKCAT documents and hadnt even looked at a cut-off yet. I think you'll be okay.

Yeah, I emailed them yesterday and have been told it could be as late as after Christmas when they decide the cut-off. So for now it is the same!
How'd u do in ur ukcat?

Hope the cut-off doesn't increase.

Also, I was wondering how easy it is to change the location for the clinical years? Is it easier to change from Scotland to Manchester? Can you change?

EDIT: Wait is painful.

You're not generally supposed to change location of your clinical school. They do ask in 2nd year if anyone wants to change due to extenuating circumstances. However, it's probably more likely to be able to change from scotland to manchester given that manchester is larger and can take more students. For most of the scottish schools, there are very few clincial places for st andrews students.

Number of places available

For 2011 entry it is expected that there will be 55 places for those progressing to Scottish Medical schools, 50% of which will be at Glasgow, 30% at Edinburgh and 10% at both Aberdeen and Dundee. A further 80 students will progress to Manchester Medical School to complete their Phase 2 (years 4-6) training.

The Scottish Government now funds more places in Scotland!

Does anyone remeber when St. Andrews started to give out interviews last year?
thanks ^^

Last year, the interviews started going out around about the 10th of November. So hopefully next week guys! Fingers crossed.

In their reply to my email, they said it could be as late as Christmas before they decide the UKCAT cut-off so how will they send out interviews?

I've been wondering this EXACT thing--maybe they'll interview people with really high UKCAT's who will definitely surpass any cutoff.
