Not dramatically; but eventually they'll gradually increase. Ncl med is starting up a pharmacy course in the next few years too so the entire faculty In general is gonna be expanding. Not like we're already packed in like sardines or anything 😂😂

To be honest it has nothing to do with the national average. It's all based on the scores of those who apply to Newcastle...if everyone who applies has 800+ then the cut off will be 800+ even if the national average is 500. Obviously that's a hugely exaggerated number but you see my point.

Just chill out and make your own decisions; don't listen to fear mongering and speculation and remember that most people on here who are willing to post their score have a high one. It's all in the lap of the gods really 🙂

Think they were talking about the average of the pple applying to newcastle

Could I apply here with 683 UKCAT band 1

I'd say it's worth a shot, you could put it down as your "risk choice"

What does sat in one sitting mean? Does it mean no re-sits or at the end of year 13. I did my maths A-level in year 12 so don't know if I should apply.

I'd imagine you have to complete all the necessary a levels in two years, no resitting A2.

Email them, or ring up...

I think it's both, so they would want you to do 3 A Levels at the end of year 13 on to it the maths a level you did.
I may not be correct, though :redface:

Jeremy Hunt needs to go!

He's after you and wants a show

to dishearten everyone in his control

and make us doctors cry and fall

until we give in and give him his private goal!

When I say 'us doctors', I mean to be of course :tongue:

Personally, its a yes. I know my UKCAT isn't glamorous but I took the risk. All I can do is hope that the threshold for A100 is lower this year :colondollar:
