The Official "Oh NOES MY UKCAT SCORE SUCKS" the end is nigh Thread

Birmingham Bristol Liverpool - non UKCAT

well, I am originally from india with school qualifications from there. however I am Nurse working here, this is why i chose to access to medicine. Not sure wheter to go for it. I mean is it worth doing this courese with my Ukcat of 550.

Thanks

Despite loads of practice, I only managed a meagre average 550 on UKCAT. I have been contemplating whether to really go for the access to medicine course. Is there a point in continunig with the course when ukcat is low. I dont feel i have much choices applying to med school now. any advice would be appreciated.

i am relatively new to this forum and its confusing where exactly to look for answers. the Big ukcat thread seems long but doesnt answer my question at all.

Regards

Hey..

Did you CBSE??There are some universities like bsms,bristol,hyms...
which consider CBSE.What percentage did you get in Xii?

The OP needs to divulge their gcse results before anyone can recommend Birmingham.

Sheffield cut of was 680 or thereabouts, may have increased this year

Ring admissions, obviously apply to birmingham as they don't use ukcat and will jizz over your GCSEs

I scored 800, with 900 in QR 890 AR and 830 DA but 580 VR, does that matter?

With a 685 UKCAT average, is it still sensible to apply to Newcastle?

(10A*'s GCSE, Predicted 4 A's A-Level, Great work-exp)

Thanks for your help,
Mike

just did mine this morning -
avg 645
..............
i didnt really revise, i looked at the mock the night before and did a few qs in front of the tv for some deluded reason, mainly the fact that i did so well at AS (95%avg).

I'm quite worried that the score is too 'middling'.
what unis would you advise for me? i was thinking bristol and edinburgh but from what i've seen, my common sense doesn't seem to be working so well atm.


i got 8A* 1A and 1B at gcse if this helps.
thanks ^^

i got 557 for my ukcat average and AABB at AS. what are the universities that don't look at ukcat as much? would it still be sensible to apply for medicine now?

First Year I applied (09) I got 532.5 and got four rejections, that same year another applicant got 537.5 and is now at medical school.

But this year my UKCAT was 665, and I'm now starting medical school.

So Its not the end of the world, and if you strengthen the rest of your application you still stand a good chance this year.

You give me so much hope haha

I just did my UKCAT this morning and got 645 overall (640 VR, 650 QR, 600 AR, 690 DA) I feel like its such garbage. Can it still be considered an acceptable (as in not THAT bad) score, or would the admissions tutors look at it and be like "meeeh, next"?

Also, my grades aren't as strong as most of the candidates here on TSR but meet the minimum requirements and atm my work experience includes 2 months admin work at a senior home/hospital, 1 year as lifeguard/swim instructor, and 2 months at a rehab centre. How well do you guys think I fair? Typical?
