Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Cant decide where to apply

I know there are probably a billion other threads like this, but I don't think the information is the same for us graduates.

So got 700 in my ukcat :frown:

and I'm not sure if it's worth applying to a ukcat uni. So I'm planning to apply to Imperial and UCL, if I do well on the BMAT then I think I will stand a reasonable chance. But other than that I'm not sure where else I could apply. I am looking to apply to 2 other unis where I would stand the best chance to get an interview and based on my research I've narrowed it down to; Aberdeen, Bristol, Keele, Leicester, QUB, Sheffield and East Anglia.

Now, based on my stats, my question is where would I stand the best chance of getting an interview? Are there any other unis that I may have overlooked? Any advice in general? :smile:

My Stats;
GCSEs : 1A*,8As, 2B (not that great)
A-levels : AAA in biology, chemistry and maths
Degree : 1st in biomedical sciences
Wrk/exp : 2+ years GP surgery, 1 week in nephrology, due to start as HCA in hospital, 1 day pathology museum, 1 week in WHO, 1 week shadowing my GP.

Thank you for your time and any help would be appreciated :smile:

Are you applying to any Graduate-entry programs?

You should definitely apply for QUB! You are nearly guaranteed an interview with 36/36 for your A levels and 5 out of a possible 6 points for UKCAT.

QUB is defo on my top four choices now haha. With glasgow, I thought they rank people by UKCAT? So it might be bit of a risk. And I thought southampton are very ukcat heavy too?
