Newcastle Medical School 2017 Entry

maybe they haven't reached our applications yet
I'm nervous about the ukcat cut off....

Yes that's definitely it they haven't got round to ours yet! What score did you get if you don't mind me asking?

700...
590 VR
but 830 AR lol

That's really good! I don't know how you managed that on AR I'm so bad at it!

I'm not going to lie.. I think the UKCAT is a game of luck. I ended up with easy easy sets...like colour... number and that kind of thing?


This will be my 3rd application.. (I am a grad holding an MSc too). hope it is 3rd time lucky x

Anyone else sick of waiting? :/ cut off scores have been realised for other unis and the ones that are really questionable, are holding it close to their chest! I just find myself sat reading last years threads on my chosen unis...

i do not think Newcastle release it until the whole cycle is over...
last year was 682.5...
seeing as score were lower this year I'm thinking maybe 670 ish?

Oh really?

Maybe. I'm a graduate and have applied for both A101 and A100. Risky I know...Terrified is an understatement :/

Is this your first time applying?

i am a grad too. how was the ukcat for you?

I completely messed up on VR, it was like my worst ever score, so it dragged my average down. I managed to get into the top decile though.....The others were good, although I ran out of time on QR and guessed quite a few. And you?

Oh and Band 1 SJT

i got 700.. 9th decile i think

For newcastle's partners programme what does discretionary school payments mean? Bc I go to a private school but I have a bursary so does that make me eligible?

No I don't think you'd be eligible, I think it means more along the lines of free school meals etc but I'm not 100% sure.

If you pay to go to school i doubt it. I got on cos i have a bursary at a normal school as my household income is small. I think the application deadline was 15th october tho

Where have you found the cut off scores for this year? Are there any graduate entry ones that have been released?

I'm out of the running for Newcastle since my planned studying with work has fallen through so I haven't studied within the past 3 years now

I haven't found any cutoff scores. I've just seen on threads that St Georges (I think) have disclosed theirs. But I don't know of any others or grad cutoffs for that matter.

Why are you out of the running? I only asked because that's why they may have emailed you. If you haven't been in education for a number of years, they may require some proof that you've obtained the qualifications that you've stated.

I was just thinking that could be the case as I have too graduated and didn't get the same email that you got. I don't really know of any other reasons... :/
