I didn't find in HYMS website how GCSE points are scored out of 30 and how UCAT points are scored out of 40. Any idea?
They are reluctant to publish this info which is a shame. In fact they won’t tell you what a band 2 or 3 score post interview either. From last years thread it was suggested 4 points per decile for the UCAT. For GCSE’s it was your top 8 scored with 3.75 points for an 8/9 and 3 points for a 7. Can’t remember for grades lower. This came via email from admissions but it would be nice if someone would try to get confirmation this year.
I'm thinking of applying for 2020 entry for HYMS so do people have any tips for interviews?
I had an interview back in January and it was a lot better than I expected. I received an offer in February and now I have an unconditional offer for 2020 entry (I decided to defer after results day). As for tips for interview just try and stay composed and calm. When giving answers take your time to think and don’t be intimidated by interviewers, and remember they want to try and get the best answers out of you. I would also recommend talking to other candidates before the interview and get to know them as they may be studying alongside you for the next 5 years. Good luck with the application process!
Oh, that's great and any time. Does it make a big difference to your stats?
I mean even if it’s 0.75 points (difference between A* and A as suggested by previous threads) it makes a difference cuz that could be what gets you across the cut off.

What are your stats?
Yeah true. Which campus do you prefer? Hull or York?
