St A first choice here. I know it's not the highest rated uni for medicine but it's such a perfect little student town and nice place.

Definitely I've wanted to study medicine there since I was about 9! Glasgow comes a close second tho to me

Yea exactly! I love the feel of the town, I come from London so I'm really not wanting to go to another city for Uni and St A is just perfect to me!

Hey guys! I'm a current medical student here at St. Andrews! If any of you have any questions about the course/what life is like in St. Andrews (I.e partying) drop me a DM and I'll give you my answer! X

Hey!!

Don't worry, they won't reject you prior to interview because of your band 4! 😁

Would a UKCAT of 2190 be an automatic rejection

From what I can gather, SJT replaces one MMI station at SA so obviously that one station is effectively dead for you but that's it!

You've still got all the rest of the MMI, your PS, qualifications etc so give it 100%!

Probably. That's a really low UKCAT

Hi!
I received an interview invite a few weeks ago for January. My stats are
Highers: AAAAA
Advanced Highers: AAA
UKCAT: 2750
SJT: band 1
I'm the only one I know who has heard back and I know other applicants with better stats who haven't heard anything. Does anyone know what makes them send out invites earlier to others?
