Ayyy

Beat me to it :biggrin:

Can't wait to see what happens! Even if I don't get in first time it's still pretty interesting to see what kind of people get accepted. As in what sort of scores they have, etc. :wink:

I've heard that at Dundee once you get an interview offer it's based fully on interview performance which is so interesting, everyone will be on a level playing field basically

Im applying to Dundee too with AAAA at A2 and ukcat 697 SJT Band 1 with two weeks work experience and a fair bit of voluntary work. I was trying to see what kind of requirements were accepted in previous years but had no luck. Fingers crossed we get the interview and a subsequent offer!

I mean it really depends on your other stats too. What are they? But if you really like Aberdeen you should give it a try!

I'll be applying here as an RUK applicant :biggrin:

GCSEs: A^ 6A* 3A (including English Language) 2B (including a science GCSE I did in year 9 which is essentially made obsolete by the fact I got A*A*A* in the separate sciences)
AS Levels: AAAA Maths, Further Maths, Biology and Chemistry
A2 (predicted): A*A*A* + A*A* in EPQ (medically related) and General Studies
UKCAT: 2360 Band 1 (787 average)

I'm a bit worried where they say that they encourage up to two weeks of medically-related work. I only really have 3 days in hospitals, but I've been volunteering at a care home for 6 months? I just hope it's enough and I show them I've done enough research and have the knowledge and commitment required...

Hey,

what do guys think my chances of interview are with a UKCAT of 617 band 2 but all A's in my exams. My UKCAT score edges it into the 4th decile but would that be enough? :/

Thanks
