Durham foundation year medicine 2015 entry

Does everyone have different UKCAT offers? As last year I thought it was 745?
And only Gateway and WP background. Had a lower offer of 645.

@mobo250 @Tinatrust @ph80 What is your UKCAT offer?

How is everyone thinking of the ukcat preparation and what resources are you all planning on using??

Hi Kgee

I thought you got 580 last year? If so you should have met your condition already like edischarge did last year no?

I've got the same conditional offer woop, and got 570 so not much to make up.

Can't remember who mentioned the lower UKCAT but this is the answer:

The direct entry cut off for 2014 entry was 745 hence our 645 offers last year (foundation usually attracts a 100 point deduction, exception being if you sat A levels and just didn't get the grades and thus waited 2 years to apply via foundation)

The direct entry cut off for this year seems to have settled at 675 as the national scores dropped massively in the 2014 cycle. I know someone who sat in 2013 and dropped 50 points when they resat in 2014! Having used the same resources!

Whilst they could have held our offers the same as last year, I know of at least 3 of us who have reapplied so to hold them would be bad business sense really! After all, as we know many top level consultants would struggle to gain entry now and if we really can't do it we will be syphoned out after Foundation year at uni.

Congrats to all those who got offers, whether your first, second or in my case 3rd attempts (no offer 1st time as had a horrendous interview)

Don't give up and we will get there!

Am not so sure but I still got conditional offer and there are others on here who had high scores last year and still have received conditional offers.. Plus am still waiting on decision from another uni which is putting me back on the same issue of resitting so I can decide...But am definitely going for Durham for sure... So looking forward to getting over with this year for once...

might be a silly question but when is the date period(s) for which we can take the ukcat?

How is everyone doing with the ukcat preparation?
