Cambridge - low BMAT

I did the September BMAT and got 5.6 in Section 1, 5.4 in Section 2 and 2.5A. Is there any chance I could get a medicine interview from Cambridge, and if so, which college should I apply to?

I'm not sure what the S3 score means (it had a different scoring system when I did it), but the S1 and S2 scores are certainly not bad enough to "rule you out" at all.

Definitely still worth applying.

Well, I heard that some colleges won't consider your application if your score is lower than 6.0 ish across both sections. Do you know if this is true?

Cambridge requires you to sit the November bmat unfortunately.

No that's Oxford.
Cambridge considers both Sep and Nov BMAT.

Why don’t you ask actual admission people? They’re hosting a joint thread to answer questions from applicants like you.....
