Leicester Medicine 2017 Entry!

Not sure if I know my stuff but I know what my daughter went through two years ago Having checked Keele then on paper you look like a strong candidate. That is providing you can present your learning points from your volunteering in a way that satisfys the assessors that you meet their criteria to a high standard. That assessment is subjective and also depends on the quality of the other candidates, so it's uncertain - just in a different way from Leicester. You should have enough material to smash it but I also saw people last year getting interviews at Sheffield which was very PS heavy until last year, but missing out on interview at Nottingham because they only scored 4/15 on their PS. If in your mind the level of uncertainty is fsirly even then go with your heart. If you think your PS (R&R) is going to stand up well against others then maybe go for Keele. Nobody on here can tell you the right answer to that because we've only seen your list of volunteering and achivements. The list scores nothing at all - what scores points is what you gained from that and how you link it to attributes required for a medical career.

Good luck with whatever you decide. Happy for you to PM me if you have questions about what I've said but I don't want to take over this thread.

UKCAT: 713
GCSE: 6A*s 2As.

Is my score 23.5? And if so would that likely be enough for an interview?

I'm a gap year applicant and I score 40/48. Got AAAA at A-Level if that makes a difference. Is it worth applying there or is it a bit of a risk?

Hey guys,One question...When a uni states "A levels must be obtained in one sitting" does this mean I wasn't allowed to retake AS modules to boost my A level grade within the two years?

Hey,

The UKCAT is marked /24 and GCSEs are marked /24, in a 50:50 ratio.

Have a look at this ^^ document, it'll tell you exactly how Leicester score them and you can calculate your score from there.

Good luck :-)

Hi, so I've just calculated my score and unfortunately my really low UKCAT result has seriously hindered my application.

My total points stand at 38, and I may also have a mitigating circumstances letter ready regarding my GCSEs. Please be honest, would you actually think I may hold some chance of being selected for interview?

Thanks again!

I heard ukcat scores have nosedived recently. So hopefully youll just about be fine unless i heard false info haha

Where'd you hear that from?

Is 42.5 pretty much guaranteed an interview? My personal statement isn't that great. I have everything that is required but it just doesn't flow that well. Thanks.
