oh dear this feels totally awful :frown:

i've got good predicted grades too but im worried my bmat will pull me down especially because im an international applicant, sigh it's such a dreadful feeling to have everything you worked hard for come crashing down because of a single aptitude test > :frown:

it's so unfair that capable people are being rejected because of their lack of speed in a test??

Hi my BMAT scores are section 1- 4.7, section 2- 5.5, section 3 - 3A any chance of Imperial

It could go either way but what do you guys think of my chances?

You're right u r on the fence but there is still a chance, your section 2 and 3 meet the cutoffs, section 1 could be okay not sure about that though. Stay hopeful

Section 1: 4.6
Section 2: 4.7

Will I get into band 2, and if so what are the chances of being invited to interview from band 2?

thanks

Last year u would have made the cutoff for band 2, however last year it was particularly low, this year the cutoff may be as low, but i can't be sure.

Based on 2014 data, success rate for an interview in band 2 was 69.5%. There is a chance that you could be in band 3 but even then chances of getting an interview are not bad, 59.6% (slightly lower only because there are more people in band 3.) Assuming the rest of your application is good, then i think u will probably get an interview.

I'm afraid to say that i have never seen a BMAT cutoff for imperial to ever be that low. It's a shame because your other two section are good. Sorry :/

Those are some good scores. U definatley meet the cutoffs, but that B makes it slightly harder to work out which band u r in. I have feeling u could be in band 2, if the cutoff this year is a B, but some years the cutoff is an A. If the cutoff is an A then u will be in band 3. Don't worry, u still have a good chance at getting an interwiew.

Yes it is, but the cutoff for band 2 is 3A, sometimes its has been 3B. I'm not certain though.

Bloody hell, that section 1 score though. U can get into band 1 as long as the cutoff for section 2 is 5.5 or below. 2015 entry cutoff for band 1 was 5.4 5.4 3.5B

U have a good set of scores. Band 1 means garunteed interview, band 2 and 3 means possible interview. I think it's just a way to decide when to interview people, i.e. Band 3 towards the end Band 1 right at the start of the interview stage. Take a look at the other links above to get a good idea. I think u would be Band 2, so u have a pretty good chance of getting an interview
