Do Cardiff prioritise candidates from Wales ? Anyone know the stats of Welsh applicants to RUK ?

would I still be accepted if I have a 6 instead of a 7 in chemistry, considering the rest of my application is relatively strong?

They r GCSE heavy , their main selection criteria is GCSE. Interview Selection is based on point system A* =3 , A=2 and B=1. Minimum point required is 22-26 range out of 27. Do check your score👍🏼

Is that the minimum requirement just to get an interview or to be considered ? Also is a level 9 at GCSE considered an A*?

I’ve had a check on the website. in the other essential entry requirements it says that you must have sat the UCAT but that’s all I can see 💁 I did watch a video on YouTube which was quite useful. Here is the link: https://youtu.be/dtPin6KRCmM

If I had IELTS, UCAT and IAL (2A*2A) only, would they consider my application?
