Hey guys, sat my UKCAT this morning and as a result of it I'm now reconsidering my choices (originally Newcastle, Nottingham, UEA, Sheffield). I got 9A* and 3A at GCSE, ABBB at AS, and have predicted A2 grades of A*AAA. I got 832.5 and SJT band 2 on my UKCAT. Where would I have the best chance at?

Would like to apply to Newcastle however my ukcat is 697.5 and not sure if this would be too risky. Any advice?

Posted from TSR Mobile

I would advise you not to apply to Newcastle as I think the cut-off will exceed 700 this year, I am expecting it to be around 725

It depends how much they look at your UKcat, I am not sure really

Your IB predicted and UKCAT scores are great, but I am guessing you're an international student? If you were british I would tell you to go ahead and apply, and to also keep your other 3 places as safety schools that you are sure you can get an interview in. But if you're international, don't apply... unfortunately your adviser is right.

Well I'm polish, so my application falls in the "elsewhere from the EU" category. What is the difference between british and other eu applicants?
