Hi! Also a UCL offer holder too! Home student who is more than happy to provide advice to future UCL medical applicants! I’ve seen qwert on the UCL thread for 2021 so hello to you and congrats on your offer!
GCSEs: 999999887
Predicted : 4A*s
BMAT: 4.5/5.7/3.5A
As you can see, even with a BMAT score like mine you can get an interview, so make sure you focus a lot on personal statement! Having a really good BMAT score definitely does not guarantee an interview, so my advice is to never be complacent at all, and always give 100% and never less, even if you think you can afford it!

does ucl always place a heavy emphasis on personal statements

It’s one of the few schools that stills scores your PS.
UCL likes students to also be more well-balanced; so if you all are planning to apply to UCL make sure you have other extra curricular interests. Having a third A Level subject which is non-science for example, is something they like.
Indeed, they don’t solely focus on your BMAT grades. UCL also accepts students with 3s and low 4s, which is unlike other unis like Imperial / Oxford / Cambridge

Hi! Yeah sure, although bare in mind I’m an international (but I’ve taken GCSEs and A Levels just like you guys
)
IGCSEs: 6A*s (999998)
Achieved A Levels: A*A*A* (with A* in EPQ)
BMAT: 5.7 / 6.9 / 3A

From what 2021 entry has highlighted, UCL places much emphasis on Personal Statements (and scores them too) and references it appears. Even top 5% BMAT scores did not promise an interview.

Historically, it is known for placing an emphasis on your wider interests and commitment/motivation - and these are demonstrated in your PS, so I’d say yes.
It’s one of the few schools that stills scores your PS.

I also mentioned a few supra curricular activities; a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) and my independent research project (IPQ).

My Silver DofE award, my voluntary work (does this count as extracurriculars?), my graphic designing + blog, and my piano playing skills (altho I remain somewhat an amateur
