hoping the UKCAT cut-off will be friendly this year :smile:

any other grads applied here for the 5 year program?



I have applied for the five year a100 course! I hope the UKCAT is generous as well, it's not the strongest part of my application!
What's up people

What degree did you graduate from? And from which uni? I don't really know what the cut-offs from here have been, but I'm just hoping for the best really :smile:

I have a 2:1 from KCL in paediatric nursing.
How about you?

Hi everyone,

I've basically been accepted on to this course (starting 2014) through a widening access scheme. My stats are no where near as good as everyone here but I'll try helping where I can as you could potentially be spending 5 years with me! I also did the same interview as last years A100 applicants and I know two people in the first year so I can ask them any relevant question for you.

Hope it all goes well for everyone. Its the start of a long and stressful UCAS journey, but whatever the end result, you will definitely be wiser and more experienced.

Yes! Have you also applied for their A101?

I'm a biomedical sciences graduate (2.1) with a UKCAT score of 3120 (780 average and band 3 for the SJT).

The previous UKCAT cut off scores for graduates applying to the A100 were as follows:

2012 cycle: 660
2013 cycle: 670

What did you score in the UKCAT Jesu?

I'm a graduate applicant applying for the 5-year MBBS program Maximus, so it's A100 for me :smile:

I managed to get 765 (band 2 for SJT), but just hope their cut-off doesn't sky rocket. The average this year for the UKCAT seems to have risen :s

where did you study Biomed buddy?
Why do graduates apply for the 5 year course? Just wondering?

Accelerated courses are more geared towards highly qualified professionals in biomedical sciences/health sciences/clinical sciences (although this is a bit of a generalisation. Most applicants are science graduates but not necessarily in the medical sciences). Arts/humanities graduates often prefer standard A100 courses just so that they won't have to learn all the hard science in the short span of a year like most graduate entry medics have to in their first year.

Also... it is (arguably) easier to get into A100 than GEP but that's not always true. I think it's just down to personal preference.
How do you get funding and stuff like that for the 5 year course for a graduate?

the intake of graduates for the undergrad course is also pretty high, and the less compacted first year of the A100 course makes it preferable to a lot of us.

When I called them, I remember they said their intake of graduates to their 5 year course was high. Also some of my friends who did Biomedical Sciences there told me there are a lot of graduates studying the A100 course :smile:
