i would go with Nottingham because your UKCAT is above 700 first of all and from the reports published today you are in the 9th decile so you would make it. Its up to you in the end.

Good luck you have great choices!

Hi, can someone please explain St George's selection procedure to me? Thanks!

Not sure if I should apply here.

I have achieved a-levels of AAA.

However, my ukcat is 2450 each subset is >500

Hii, my application is very similar to yours, I'm applying to St. George's as my safe. And also I'm applying to Kings, Nottingham and Manchester, hope this helps

That's great because I'm also applying to Manchester, HYMS and Newcastle.
I'm just struggling on whether to go for Nottingham aswell or play it safe with St Georges

I'd say Nottingham since fewer people have been getting high scores so competition would probably reduce slightly???

Hey guys,


I have achieved grades of A*ABCa, but I go to a school where I fit the 'adjusted criteria' - I called up and they said I am eligible to apply...

Im not sure how it works, would I be considered as if I have achieved AAA? My UKCAT is 672.5, all above 500.

I have a fear that I would be disadvantaged and not treated like others... does anyone have any experience of this? anyone got in this way?

Thanks!

I think now it depends on what you like because either would probably take you, also St. George's interview isn't very nice I've heard. But they do interview lots of people.

oh damn :/ not very nice? what do you reckon people mean by that?

I thought it was quite intense but your experience might be different.
