One of the first interviews because you're the one of the higher candidates, congrats.
Is there a set date or do they give you a choice? And between what dates if you don't mind me asking?

I got 55/66/46 compared to March (57/73/50). Feel so stupid for not using March result because I felt so confident about the September exam!

Don't unis take the higher score anyway?

I only entered my Ucas pID for my September exam though

Heya, nice scores - I pretty much got the same.

It depends where you apply. Some unis ask for 60+ (plymouth, st Georges, Swansea etc).

The unis that have a cut off of 60 and below (that I can think of) are Cardiff, Liverpool, Nottingham (if you have a 2.1). So all obviously really really good universities - though there's been a few hiccups over in Cardiff recently.

In terms of interviews, I literally think if you make the cut off, you get an interview 99% of the time (unless you don't have any experience or you don't meet the academic req.).

This year there were around 10,000 students taking the GAMSAT and a score of 60 comes within the top 25%. So you're/ we're competing with 2500 other graduate students.

Hope this helps.

Actually, Swansea tends to have a cut off in the high 50s (58 last year) and Notts and SGUL both have low 60s (62 for both with a 2.1 last year I think). With 60, Swansea is the safest bet and Notts is a possibility. I'm only acutely aware of those three unis though, don't know much about the others.

Notts last had a cutoff of 62 in 2006. 60 last year and 61 the year before (61 is the highest it's been for them in a decade). Based on percentile curves it looks likely for all cut offs to shift down slightly this year or remain the same. They don't look likely to increase.

Thank god! I've applied to Birmingham, Barts and Newcastle but to be honest all are a bit ambitious with my UKCAT (693) especially Newcastle. Birmingham and Barts are reviewing my education independently to see whether I meet the requirements (clutching at straws to see if my current postgraduate study in biochem related subject will suffice for no Chem A-level) so it really is all on Warwick for me!

What about you?
