A100 Edinburgh Medicine - 2017 Entry

Original post by HarrisonGCSE

Its kinda 36/40. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/362761/response/889094/attach/3/ResponseFinal.pdf
The total for all candiatates who got 40, 39, 38, 37 and 36 = 156
There were a total of 170 offers last year (RUK). It is safe to presume the rest were due to AA programs such as LEAPS with some additional. This means that 50%-75% of those who got 36/40 would most likely get an offer :biggrin:

There's another freedom of information article which shows that the highest scores of UK applicants being rejected is 37/40 (which is) , I'm guessing the people with 35/36 will have had strong UKCAT scores (I think they use it as a discriminator when ranking applicants?)

Offer for an interview in February. Scottish soon-to-be graduate here.

2200 UKCAT, SJ BAND 3.

I had at this point resigned myself to not getting an interview for Edinburgh, based on my SJ score, so the invite was a pleasant surprise. :smile:

The SJT is worth a possible 6 points, so one would assume a Band 2 scores 4?

No one will get any offers until March. They go systematically from the list upwards (rejections followed by offers). Rejections start in January

I had a chat with the people running Pathways for Medicine (It's organised and run by current Edinburgh admissions officers + current med students) and they said they wouldn't interview any of the school leavers so don't worry about getting an unexpected interview.
