A100 Edinburgh Medicine - 2016 Entry

Hey i'm thinking of putting Edinburgh as one of my options for medicine but since they don't interview I'm not sure if i have a chance?they say 50% of the application is academic requirements, do they rank gcses? or how do they get the data for this 50%?

I have 9A*'s and 1A(english lang) at GCSE
4 AS grades = A*A*A predictions for A2
Ukcat 716 avg and SJ band 1

Ukcat 7th octile ☹️
SJT band 1
GCSEs 6A* 2A 1B which seriously affected my score but I didn't know this till after application. Also my school only does 9 GCSEs and Edinburgh score best 10!
AS AAAA
Predicted A2 A* AA

Wasted application really if I had known how they scored a B and best 10 GCSE I would have applied somewhere else.
But on a positive note they did like my ps so hopefully Keele will too😃

Hi, i'm a potential 2017 entry applicant, and was thinking of applying to edinburgh. i have 10a*s at gcse and 1b, so was just wondering what you meant by, 'how they scored a b'? thanks

The way it works, 9A*s and a B is scored below 10As. But you need not worry, since they look at your best 10 GCSEs only.

That's really stupid! but thank you for your reply! i got a b in eng lit, will that be a problem?
Thank you!
