Hi all,
This thread is for all those applying to Aston Medical School for 2019 entry. Don't hesitate to state your stats!
According to their open day, they are now ranking UKCAT scores, but they will not be using a cut-off. UKCAT will now be used in conjunction with academics (GCSE, A-levels) to select candidates.
Your personal statement will not be used in determining who to invite for interviews. Personal statements (I think) are only used in choosing between similar applicants post-interview. (In regards to interviews, they will now be in a MMI format.)
They really support social mobility so those who come from certain widening participation groups and those local to Birmingham (and the Black country) will be given preference, but information regarding this is still yet to be announced! *see below
So with all this said, let the cycle...BEGIN!
* EDIT: AMS have announced that those applying via Widening Participation will now be required to complete an application form which will be e-mailed to all home applicants.
