Not yet :frown: the only one I’ve heard from is St George’s
Anyone applying as an international student? If so, when do they normally call for interview?

Without contextual data it was:
2015: 15.1
2016: 16.0
2017: 17.5

It keeps getting higher 😭😭
Does anyone know if all contextual data is considered equally? I have one for the bursary from age 16-19 so does that mean I apply for the (presumably) lower BMAT cut off?

I have that too, as long as you already emailed them the scanned letter from your school then you will have the lower cut off for your BMAT score

Yep I’ve done that but just thinking it through does it really make sense that someone with a bursary at a high performing independent school (ie you and I) get the same cutoff as someone at a low performing state school? Not complaining if it’s true but it just seems bizarre tbh

You need to have at least 2 contextual data flags to be eligible for the lower BMAT cutoff
