Anglia Ruskin Medicine 2019 entry

I was wondering if my GCSES are a fall back. My school did 8 GCSES (5A*,3As). I have A level predictions of A*AA, and I have 702.5 on my UKCAT Band 3. I want to apply for ARU for my fallback option.

Also will my friend be eligible. She also did 8 GCSES (4A*,4As). A level prediction A*AA, and UKCAT avg. 635 and SJT band 3.

Thanks

Hi tangoboy456,

You will find full entry requirements listed for this course on our website here
https://www.anglia.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/medicine
In terms of GCSE's you would need a minimum of 5 at grade A-C (9-4), including English Language, Maths and 2 Science subjects.
We don't have a cut off for the UKCAT score as we rank the scores of applicants but please note that we don't invite applicants who have a band 4 SJT.
I hope this helps but please let me know if you have any further questions.
Nigel.

How many places do Anglia Ruskin have for medicine for the 2019 entry? Also, how disadvantaged would I be if I applied to ARU as someone who does not reside/or attend school in the East of England region/Essex (I am from the East Midlands region).
Thanks!

Hi,
We have 100 places available for entry in September 2019. We do give a small weighting to applicants from the East of England and a slightly larger one to applicants from Essex but I would still encourage you to make an application. You can see full entry requirements and details of our selection process here https://www.anglia.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/medicine

Hi,

If you received a significant amount of application from Essex, would this mean that those from outside Essex are not likely to get in? How is the weighting used, is it based on academics, UKCAT, work experience/volunteering?

Hello,

We add 1% onto UKCAT scores for people from the East of England and 2% onto applicants scores from Essex.
I hope this helps.

Guys is it too risky applying with a ukcat that is below last year's cut off?
Or is it a complete waste of application?
Desperately need a 4th option

Does the East Midlands count?

And also, how does AR weigh each component (UKCAT, GCSEs, PS) and around when do we expect to hear back from them?

Thanks

I hope this helps,

Hey. I'm also from the East Midlands and as it is a different region from the 'East of England' it will not count. East of England includes 'Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.'
