Medicine 2017 entry

Are you WP or WP+ flag? I'm only WP so as you can see it doesn't help me out with my ukcat
Me too, I'm not sure as my avg is 655 and should I risk it... What do you think?

What unis are you thinking of applying to?

Guys I could really use some help in deciding which unis would be reasonable for me to apply to. I got 5A*s, 3As, and 1B for GCSEs and 3As in AS, in biology, chemistry and maths. I am predicted 3A*s for A2 and have very recently sat my UKCAT, scoring an average of 747 with Band 1 in SJ. I'll be taking the BMAT come November and have already decided that I'm applying for Cambridge (I'm aware that it's a very long shot hahah) but do you guys have any idea where else I should apply to? I'm thinking UCL and Newcastle but I'm not sure if my UKCAT score is high enough for 2017 entry. Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I've just compiled all my chosen uni's and their previous cut offs. Here is Manchester's. I think 655 is a bit risky but I also think my score of 667 is a bit risky so honestly I have no advice sorry 😂 here you go though hope it helps I'm fairly certain these are 99% accurate just depends whether I typed it into my calculator right lmao. Yellow means their cut off and pink means the UKCAT average for the year!

Thanks for the information! They are really helpful. Are they the normal cut off scores or the WP ones? If it's WP, then I'm screwed lol

Birmingham and Sheffield.

Birmingham has a more vibrant city than Nottingham. (superficial?) Sheffield and Exeter both have amazing research qualities but I just have a preference for Sheffield (maybe because Exeter only has about 130 spaces for med)

Hi everyone,

I need advice as to whther i should apply to QMUL. I'm not too sure how the UCAS Tariff system works so can someone give me an idea of what my score would be and how competitive it will be.

GCSE: 7A* 2A 1B 1C
AS: AAAA
A level prediction: A*A*A*

Based on my Tariff points(which i dont know) will a Ukcat score of 663 be competitive?

Thanks in advance

I have the kind of the same stats as you, I got 7 As and 5As, same AS and predicted grades. Except my UKCAT is lower at 655. Where else do you want to apply to?

hi, can i have some advice on where to apply?

i have A*A*A predictions and 7A* 4A at gcse, however my AS are bad (AACD). basically, last year i was extremely unmotivated, but now that i know i really can't imagine myself studying anything other than medicine, i'm determined to fix my grades and have been doing well in terms of that so far. my D was in physics however i achieved an A* in gcse and it's always been the science that's been easiest for me which is part of why I ended out with a D, because i overestimated myself and didn't work for it at all. i've dropped my C grade subject and I'm not 100% sure if unis will take my AS into account or if they just care about my predictions. my UKCAT avg is 683

I'm planning on applying to manchester and sheffield (i can't find sheffeild's ukcat cutoffs for previous years though) but i'm really stuck on my other two options!!

i don't take biology a level so my choices are limited to aberdeen, bristol, barts, dundee, glasgow, leeds (don't really want to do the bmat though), newcastle (risky with my ukcat score), and st. andrews

the scottish universities all seem so nice but they're all like 4-7 hour train journeys and i get homesick easily lol, but i am super interested in st andrews

any advice would be really appreciated, thanks

Liverpool
