Exeter want above 650? Where did you read this?(Original post by aspiringmedic178)
Thank you so much!! I am trying to choose between Bristol and Exeter. I heart that Exeter wants above 650? Do you think I could apply to Exeter or Bristol is a better idea. I also have 7A*s and 3 As.

I'm really disappointed with my UKCAT results. I was expecting wayyy higher cause Im applying with resits due to a medical condition last year. I got
VR: 600
QR: 740
AR: 770
SJT: Band 2
Avg: 703.33
Can someone suggest where I could apply. I did my IBDP and was predicted 41/45 but got 35 due to a medical condition. I'll be rewriting bio and chem hl in november. I know most universities require more than 700 but i barely crossed it and idk what to do -

You need to turn your grades around, take a year out and apply. No offence but there's no chance you get into Med this year, with those grades - take it from a guy who got 4 rejections pre interview because my AS grades were BCCD.

No dont worry, no offense taken bro. And i completely get where you're coming from. Some teachers recommended I take another course, and maybe follow the postgraduate option. Or if Im really keen on getting in this year, take the BMAT.(Original post by ASTK98)
Don't follow the postgrad route. The odds of getting into Med as an undergraduate aren't great and trying to get in as a postgrad they're even worse because it's more competitive. IMO take a year out and focus on getting 3As+ this year and then applying with your achieved grades.

Guys i need help. I got 600 Average and Band 1 STJ. I only had 20 or so days to revise for the UKCAT cause of research placement this summer etc
I am planning applying to foundation year course. At Nottingham, Bristol, UEA and Southampton since i do qualify for those. Pretty disappointed at the 600 average. Is this the end of the road for me? My predicted grades are ABC my GCSEs are not the worst ( in my opinion) 4 A*-A 7Bs and i have taken lots of hospital work experience, done nuffield research placement,crest award, volunteer at children charity and have written a scientific report for GSK this summer.
I really do not wish to take the graduate entry and i dont believe there are any bmat foundation year courses available.
Any help from those experienced would be appreciated. -

My friend got into Southampton last year foundation medicine and his UKCAT score was lower than yours, 592 I think he got. His predicted grades were also the same as yours. I don't know much about foundation courses but I'd say you're in a pretty good position

Foundation medicine's entry requirements are generally lower than the standard medicine course and I'm pretty sure you meet those requirements

Soooooo i had my UKCAT today and I think it went pretty well. Alot better than i expected coz my mocks were trash.
My results are:
VR- 520
QR- 850
AR- 720
SJ- Band 2
So tell me if thats good or bad coz I'm not entirely sure what kind of score is considered 'good'. Im hoping to apply to barts and kings college. -

Yeah 700 is good. They use an average so as long as the average is around 650 it's a good score, and then it gets better after that.
Some universities use individual scores so take a look at them. Post ur score when u do it and we can tell u how it is.
Do well 👍
And induvidual scores are 520 for VR, 850 for QR, 720 for AR and Band 2 in SJ
Are those good enough for universities coz my AS grades were pretty low. -

Thanks for clarifying. Do you know or know where i can find the ukcat entry cutoff for foundation year courses (even if it is last years) as then i can confirm my other choices.
Thanks bud
Have a look through this, not sure how useful it is but better than nothing i suppose -

It's subjective but IMO if you're in the 7th decile then your score is 'good', 8th and 9th decile and your score is 'amazing.' It's more than good enough for Barts and KCL for sure though.
What were you scoring in mocks btw?
I was getting scores in the 500's in the mocks
