Definitely applying here :biggrin:

Stats:
GCSE: 8 A* 2 A
AS: AAAA
A2 (predicted): A* A* A*
UKCAT: 747.5

Also does anyone know their selection criteria? I know they rank by UKCAT score, then interview the top X number of applicants, but do the score your PS before this?

Yeah it's listed on the first page :biggrin:

Nope, more student satisfaction.I only really read this around march time and I'd already made my decision by then. But the huga gap between the top and bottom is shocking.

Hallelujah! I am not the only one with a VR score in the four hundreds!

I got 490, 700, 890, 700 in VR, QR, AR, and DA respectively. I got 695 average.

Manchester only look at the total UKCAT score so we are in safe hands!
