I am a bit confused about my birmingham score
My results are GCSE 8 A* (Maths biology, chemistry and german)
4 A ( English language and literature)
UCAT 2730 SJT 3
Can somebody help

Based on last year's deciles (which are all we have to go on at the minute) you would score 7.667

Birmingham use their own deciles, so even they don’t know that until the applicants schools are in and ranked

Bristol would be risky as cut off was 690 last year

october 15 lol
So I applied for Medicine at Birmingham but haven't had email yet acknowledging that I've applied, I'm not sure why this is as I've had emails for Nottingham, UCL and Kings acknowledging my application and also emails about their online things to check your application status so just wondering has anyone had any email confirmation from University of Birmingham for medicine?

You would have scored 2.222 points for your UCAT (6th decile). For your GCSE score it depends what your A was in?

My A was in Economics

My A was in Economics

Then you get the maximum 6.0 for GCSE. Total = 8.22.

Your score will be 3.0 for GCSE (Eng Lang 1, Eng Lit 1, Maths 4, Biol 2, Chem 2, Physics 2, 7th subject 0 = 12 divided by 4). Last year your UCAT would have placed you in the 4th Birmingham decile yielding a score of 1.333. This would have given you a total score of 4.333 last year.

This is a question you should have sought to have had answered before making an application as it seems very highly unlikely that you will be called for interview. Last year, the cut off for standard applicants was 8.1, and for contextual applicants 5.5: https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/Documents/college-mds/medical-school/Application-Statistics-Medicine.pdf
