University of Aberdeen A100 2022 entry

Hey folks, grad offer holder going to be 23 in September. For those asking about halls, they are quite pricey however rent across the city is very reasonable. If anyone has any questions about Aberdeen fire away as I’ve done my undergraduate here

Hi.

Can anyone advise how Aberdeen scores the academic side of applications (to come up with the 30% pre-interview)? And any idea of scores that were allocated for UCAT in past years, and the combined scores (academic plus UCAT) that were successful in gaining an interview? (I've seen the tables they publish of "lowest successful UCAT" scores in previous years, but there's no way of knowing from them how a relatively low UCAT might have been compensated by other academics and vice versa.)

I have 2740 B3 for UCAT (B3 very disappointing after all my practice scores, but I gather Aberdeen don't take much notice of SJT except as a possible tie-breaker) and am trying to work out how competitive my application might be.

Thanks.

I found this from last year's forum. I am applying with 2720 B2, coupled with my academic record, I am pretty confident in getting an interview. I think 2740 is a good score comparing with previous years' cut-off.

Hi guys, are there any RUK graduates here? If so do you guys get a maintenance loan from sfe? I've been asking around and no one knows

Would a ucat of 2260 560 VR and good work experience be enough for Warwick grad med... I realise my score is below their cut off last year but would my work exp not help me seen as they worthy work exp a lot ?

Hi, I am a gap year reapplicant trying to choose which 4 med schools to apply to. Obviously no one here will definitely know but do you think I have a chance of an interview at Aberdeen with these stats?

Work Experience:
- Worked as an infection control cleaner, from the start of the first lockdown, in a local hospital; worked in many areas including A&E, labour & delivery and surgical theatres. Also would hostess sometimes so got more time for patient interaction during that role. Whilst cleaning in A&E, I wouldn't have much to do most of the time so junior doctors would let me observe as they knew I wanted to go into medicine.

- Volunteered at a Mencap youth group for children with disabilities.
- An Ear4U2 mentor at school for pupils in the lower years who had mental illnesses.

Contextual Offers:
I am applicable at some unis because of my school however, my postcode is quintile 3 so not all unis because I only fit one part of the criteria at most offering contextual offers.

Many thanks in advance!

Are you a Scottish applicant?

Thanks Eleanor good to hear
My university degree is due to be finalised end of the month (Open University and final module ran Feb - Aug)
Would you recommend sending to admissions confirmation of final degree result once I have it which should hopefully be their equivalent of 2:1?

I’m a current Y2, I do get maintenance loan from SFE
