Isometrix
those choices are fine...bristol and liverpool dont use it and aberdeen place only 4% weighting on it which is also good. manchester rank everyones ukcat and interview the top X scorers...which could possibly pose a problem for you...but who knows maybe the the top X might range from your score upwards. im certainly taking that risk anyway.
Ah you're going for manchester then! Good luck Iso.

yep...sometimes i think i'm a fool for taking such a risk!

|It all depends on what X actually is when Manchester say they take the top X%. 627.5 is solid I guess, and quite high up, but there's always a bit of luck involved when making a cut off point that is based on the performance of the people applying.
Thanks for the advice.

Bear in mind that the cut-offs scores mentioned on here are a lot higher than in real life. With 627.5, you'll be fine i think.
Which of the following universities place a lot of weighting on UKCAT when considering placements to students?
- Keele University
- QMUL (Queen Mary)
- Uni of Manchester
- SGUL (St. George)
Please reply and thanks for the help!

Barts and the London (QMUL pisses them off) usually has a cut off for the ukcat and everyone below it is not considered. I think it was 600 average last year, and I don't think it would go down...
Sorry. I'm not entirely sure... what's the difference between QMUL and Barts? Because I normally equate the two together....

Any other user responses? Thanks!
This is what Manchester say about it.
''This year we will be selecting for interview by ranking by UKCAT score all those applicants who have successfully passed through our initial UCAS assessments.
Importantly, we will continue to give special consideration to those applicants who claim mitigating circumstances or have benefited from our mentoring programmes. Hence a low UKCAT score is not necessarily an indication that you will be rejected before interview. We look at our applicants as individuals not numbers!''

Queen Mary used to have a cut off point, but apparently they're changing their system this year.
Still, QMUL use UKCAT pretty heavily. I've emailed them:
1.Thank you for your interest in Barts and the London. There is no UKCAT cut off per se. It is decided on a year by year basis, and is dependant upon the scores of the candidates and the number of candidates we would like to interview. As such, the cut off score changes every year.
We use the UKCAT very heavily, as we use it to determine who we are going to interview.
I couldn't squeeze it out of them after several emails whether or not they are using a cut-off point this year.

Plus you will have had to applied by now, so even if you had done it this year it would be redundant.
