Leicester Medical Applicants 2014

Top 6 GCSES including sciences, maths and English language. A*=5 points, A=4 etc.

Bonus points can be awarded (up to the maximum of 30 points) for every A at AS (I think the A's have to be in science/maths but not 100%)

So basically 3A*3A top 6 GCSE with 3A's at AS in Chem, bio, maths = 30/30 points!

All correct except for the bonus AS points you are allowed the maximum of 3 points including Chemistry, Biology and any other :smile:

Hi guys,
I was just wondering if I'd got this point thingy right..
I got A*'s in chem, bio, physics and history with an A in math and Eng Lang at GCSE, along with AAAB in Maths, Bio, Physics and Chem respectively at AS level. This makes 30 points right?
And I got 3000 points dead on in the UKCAT so that's also 30 points? Or is it 29?
So does that mean I have a score of 59 or 60/60 ?
Thanks for your help, I just a little unsure on the scoring system!

Basically what t()m said, I emailed them with my 2700 score and they said
"Your UKCAT score would be 27/30"

Mynamesisbok checked being bang on is the high score so for you it's 30/30 for ukcat.

Got the email back about the GCSE thing

Many thanks for your email of 10 September 2013.

You should email Leicester to confirm your score because the junior certificate isn't equivalent to GCSEs so they may use a different scoring method. It looks like 60/60 though. :smile:

Possibly because they add points onto people's scores who have extenuating circumstances or went to a bad school etc. It'd be risky though because they might not increase your score or might not increase your score by enough. It's up to you to decide if it's worth it. :smile:

Hi, I emailed Leicester and they said that the junior cert will be scored in the exact same way as GCSE.

Again it would be 60 because you got 29 from Junior Certificate then a bonus point from the A* at A level, making 30. With 30 from your UKCAT score.

Hey all

Decided today that I'm going to apply to Leicester.

Can someone please confirm though that with 3130 ukcat and 11A* gcse that I would have a score of 60? And therefore I would (probably) get an interview?
