Hi guys,
Need some help because I really want to apply to Edinburgh but I'm very worried about my grades/ukcat.
GCSE: 5A*, 4A, B
Predicted Grades: A*AA
UKCAT: 2680 (670 average --> VR- 550, DM- 650, QR- 760, AR- 720, SJT- Band 2)
EPQ dissertation- A* prediction
Personal statement I think is pretty good- I've worked on it loads so quite happy with it. I've done 4 work experience placements (1 GP, 2 hospital, 1 lab) and volunteered for a year in a special needs school.
So that's basically my whole application in a nutshell. My GCSEs drag me down quite a bit but I'm not sure how much weight is put on them. I know the selection process is 50% academic but that also includes predicted grades too. Also don't really know how the point system works so can't try to work it out.
Any thoughts on whether or not to apply?
