Average UCAT

Hi all, just did my UCAT the other day (woo finally over).
I scored 2600 in total and band 3 in the sjt.
For my GCSEs I have straight 9s (11 total) and I'm predicted 45 points in the IB. But, I'm not sure how heavily unis will consider 2020 GCSE grades (for obvious reasons).
I'm planning to apply to Dundee and Exeter as my UCAT schools, and was wondering if you think my current stats would land me an interview? Unfortunately, I can't apply for 2022 entry for places like Cardiff or Plymouth as I'll be 17 going into uni.

My BMAT schools are Cambridge and Leeds. Would it be risky to apply to 3 BMAT schools?
Thanks so much for the help in advance!!

Are a Scottish Student?

If you're applying this year then yes its very risk to apply to even 2 BMAT Universities as you will be applying blind because the September sitting has been cancelled and only the November sitting will go ahead.

Not scottish, just RUK student. But looking at Scottish unis since I don't have to be 18 to enter. That's a very fair point. If I were to apply to 3 BMAT schools, it would be Cambridge, Leeds and Brighton & Sussex.

Then Dundee might be a risky one, I'll tag in @GANFYD so she can tell you if you have a shot or not.

I would say pick 1 BMAT university (Leeds) but I don't want to give my opinion as I might be bias

Exeter rank 75% A levels and 25% UCAT, so depends on your HL scores (and check they are treated the asme as A levels) and decile, when they are released and you can check your points here

Dundee has just 15 places for RUK applicants, and has required UCATs around 2800 for an interview in recent years.

Some med school accept you being 18 by a certain month in the first year, so choices depends a bit on when your birthday is, but Liverpool would be one good option, as would Aston and Sunderland.
YOur best bet is to apply for deferred entry and take a gap year

I am keen on Exeter as they have the 75-25 split, which would be playing to my strengths. Thanks so much for that stat on Dundee, as I could only find ranges for min and max points, which obviously does no provide the full picture. Just wondering, do you think it is risky to apply for a deferred entry at Cardiff with my current statistics?

I'll let GANFYD weigh in as well, but I believe Cardiff would be a good choice as they focus more on GCSEs and are a GCSE heavy med school so you having 9 9s (I know it's 11 but they only look at 9) is definitely an advantage!
