I've achieved A*AA at A2- that only comes to 380 but everyone seems to have scores significantly higher i.e in the 700s+
Does GCSE count?
Thanks for your help by the way!

Yh do Gcses have tariff points ?


Posted from TSR Mobile


GCSE's do not count toward your UCAS tariff. Only whatever listed here counts toward your UCAS Tarrif https://www.ucas.com/ucas/undergraduate/getting-started/entry-requirements/tariff/tariff-tables

People have a high tariff because of extra things such as EPQ, General studies, Music, etc.
I don't understand the tariff table (lol) can someone tell me what ABB would be given?

I know I'll I much higher ukcat to balance out!

ABB? You need to be predicted and achieve at least AAA for medicine?

ABB would give you 320 points

Not for graduate entry with a science degree at 2.1 level. Only certain unis have those requirements and I have done my research.

No but extra AS grades do count! Even stuff like grade 8 music certificates.


Ohh, so how much would an A be?

An A grade at AS is half the points of an A at A level (60 points) and so on.

I don't think they look at ucas points for graduates, they are looking for degree classification and UKCAT score?

For the graduate school? Maybe you're right I think sorry! Ye they weigh your degree classification against ukcat score

How do I calculate my UCAS Tarrif?


You could have asked me this, I know how to do it

Would anybody know how realistic 490 Tariff points and a 737.5 in the UKCAT would be for QM?


Seems realistic.
I received an interview last year with ~600 UCAS Tariff and 680 UKCAT.
It all really depends on the stats of the other applicants.
But it is probably worth a try :smile:

Barts have put up the data from the 2015 admissions cycle

http://www.smd.qmul.ac.uk/Documents/admissions-2015-cycle.pdf
I found out I'm underaged for Barts so I'll have to deferred my entry if I wanna apply there. I'm an international student as well so I'd like to ask does deferring my entry put my at a disadvantage compared to the other applicants since theres so little places in the first place?

PS I've emailed them to ask about deferring entry for internationals and they said it ok
Would it be reasonable to apply with 740/760 UCAS tariff and 665 UKCAT? Also I had Band 3 in the ukcat so I'm a bit worried about that:ashamed2:

Yes that's more than what I had last year and I got in. Not sure about band 3, last year they disqualified SJT but I'd imagine that Bart's only care about the average itself?

Ah ok thank you :smile: I was just a bit worried about my ukcat score because on selection criteria it says that people are not offered an interview with a total UKCAT score below the third percentile. What ukcat score did you have if you don't mind me asking?
I got 6A*s 5As at GCSE. AABB at AS (Bs in chem and bio :/) If I'm predicted A*AA/AAA and then have A at AS from History and 7 UCAS points from L3 Algebra, will this be a good enough tariff score to apply with?

I do my UKCAT this week and would be happy with 2,700, but am obviously aiming for more.

Other than that though, just wondering where Barts falls on people's priorities, like is it 1st/2nd etc choice or lower. For me my top picks are Barts and Imperial.

Yeah I just read the thing about the third percentile on the website and I'm not sure if that was the case for 2015 entry...but I was definitely well below average. I had 660 or a bit less (I was very unprepared and totally didn't expect an interview).
