UKCAT for 2017 Entry to UK

Your gcses are good. Don't rely on people from here because apparently every medical applicant has at least 10A*, 4A* at A-level and 800 ukcat with years of work exp. people thought the same and was so close to not applying to medicine but ended up with 4 interviews.
Just apply to your strengths. Your ukcat is good, with a good ps you should be able to get into unis that don't solely focus on the ukcat. Don't apply to universities where they only interview people with 8 A*s etc. so avoid birmingham, cardiff and perhaps bristol.

Really, that's strange then! If Bham only invite people with 8A* then how was the cut-off score 6.17? Please explain as I have applied there with 6A*.

I was referring to cardiff with that example and just saying that birmingham are really GCSE heavy too

Do i have a chance with nottingham with a score of 626.7 or manchester? Thanks

A genuine question: is 5A*s 7A's a strong set of GCSE results to apply for cardiff?

Folks, all these 'do I have a chance....' questions are all a bit silly.

NO-ONE can tell you if you will get an interview or not !

It doesn't just depend on grades - its also about your PS, and more importantly how your application measures up against those from all the thousands of other applicants, most of whom will also have a string of A*s and lots of work experience.

All you can do is make your application the best that you can, send it in, and then wait - just like EVERYBODY else.

Yeah exactly. Plus it's very hard to predict as there will be loads of applications with straight A* predictions and 700+ in the UKCAT etc who get rejected pre interview, but people with just 3A predictions and a score in the mid 600s could get interviewed instead.

Best to just hope and wait.

They can work out if the meet the academic entry requirements themselves. Last year's scores/interviews will them zero about what might happen this year.

All these posts etc do is get everyone wound up and over anxious.

If you would like me to post a link to where you can find certain university UKCAT cut-offs, reply which uni's you want the cut-off scores for.

I will be able to find most of them but not all
