Thank you for finding this @KA_P Do you happen to know what the cut-off is out of 36? I score 29.5/36 do you reckon that will be enough or too low?

If it's the same as last year, about 29 and above should be fine for non- WP applicants. I think it's lower for WP applicants. 29.5 should be fine, but I'd be assuming that from last year's cohort.

I'm thinking it might be 9.5 tbh but I wouldn't be too sure either, for all we know the ucat score scale might be wrong, since Aston hasn't actually given us too much information on how the ucat scores are scaled

Good luck!! Could you tell us if you get a confirmation email of receiving your application from Aston? Just so we can keep a look out for it. Thank you :smile:

I actually haven't received an email from any of my unis except for liverpool saying they received my application. I assume not all of them do it but I'm not sure.

Okay that makes sense, some take a while longer than others. But yeah some might not do it

Am i right in thinking that Aston gets all its applications in first and then starts to hand out interviews offer.

That’s interesting - if it is 75% academics and UCAT thats pretty unique! And possibly a bit silly, as they could end up interviewing people who have almost no chance of getting an offer...?

Pretty sure all med schools do this because the deadline is so early.

Hi
Wanted to ask what the chances are of me receiving an interview? UCAT 2900 B2, GCSEs 998776666 A Levels (achieved) ABB but predicted A*A in my resits.
Anyone have an idea how the point system works in regards to GCSE and UCAT, and what the cutoff was last year? On last years thread the lowest amount of points I've seen get an interview was 28, and my gcses + ucat are nowhere near that. I hear GCSEs are heavily taken into account at Aston, and the interview:applicant ratio was very low last year so I'm worried my GCSEs wont be good enough to get an interview! And considering I'm on a gap year, I need to make sure I apply to places where my chances of getting an interview are the highest.
Any advice? Thanks
