Is a score of 2060 (8th decile) too low to apply to ukcat heavy unis? Not kings and Newcastle but maybe Manchester, Nottingham, Southampton or Leicester? Thanks

Slafe bro... do you think its safe for me to apply to manchester

Stats
Gcse: 7A* 2A 1B 1C
As: AAAA
ukcat: 1990 average 663

It really depends on the score manchester picks as their cut off since anyone below the cut off is automatically eliminated. I'm not applying to manchester and have limited knowledge on the history of cut off scores but i think it will be better to go search it up and see what your chances are! :smile:

King's are not a UKCAT heavy University.

Well, it was 70th percentile last year, and 58 the year before that but its around 66 or 68.

Oh right I just got the 70th percentile. Maybe it might be lower this year? Coz averages are lower

It would be risky if you made all 4 of your options UKCAT heavy unis but applying to 1 or 2 UKCAT heavy ones with your average shouldn't be too risky, your average is higher than most!

No matter if you guys say 6th percentile or 7th percentile both of you understand it as the same thing. from 60%-70%
So i have above 2150 but that doesn't mean i'm on the 100%, it means i'm between 90% and 100% and so at least 90% of people did worse than me.

Now if you say u are in the eighth percentile or 7th it just means that 70% of people did worse than you

It is because they usually have very high cut off scores.

They don't have a "cut off", they just have a specific score that they consider competitive. You can get an interview if your score is lower than that, but having a score higher than it doesn't guarantee you an interview either. For the last cycle (2016 entry) the competitive score was 650. They interviewed someone with a score of 612 this year.

"The 1st decile represents a score at the 10th percentile; the 2nd decile represents a score at the 20th percentile, and so on." * Surely this means a score of 2150+ corresponds to 90%+?
