University of Edinburgh A100 2022 Entry

Hello all.

I had previously posted in the mega thread

Edinburgh have confirmed that I am entitled to a 10% Ucat uplift, additional consideration in academic scores, guaranteed interview and an offer at AAB minimum entry requirements.

My stats are

GCSEs:

English Lit 9
English language 9
Biology 9
RE 9
Maths 8
Biology 8
Chemistry 8
Physics 8
Geography 8
History 8
Business 8


A level predictions: A* A A
In English Language Chem and Bio

UCAT:
2650. (2915 with uplift)
SJT: band 2

Based in England.


Would anybody have any thoughts. I know Edinburgh is really hard to get into but an interview is guaranteed as I meet their contextual requirements.

I have read the thread from last year and had a look at the statistics from the uni re interview/ offer ratio for contextual applicants which looks reasonable.

Any thoughts/ input if I should select Edinburgh would we welcome please?

Thank you.

Depends what they do with your scoring post interview, as they use it for 50% of score to decide re offers.
So if an RUK and you are just assessed against all the other RUK intrviewees, then your B2, likely not top decile UCAT (even augmented) and points lost for A levels would mean you would struggle if competing directly against those with perfect stats. But if they uplift your academic scores to full marks, you only have maybe 4 marks dropped, but it still may mean you miss an offer.
If you only have to compete against other contextuals, then it is possible they will have similar stats to yours, so may not be as big a deal.

I will clarify the scoring with Edinburgh on Monday.

It seems daft to apply if I am going to be considered in the same pool as RUK as I can’t compete with them.

Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it. .

This Year I'm applying for Medicine at the University of Edinburgh. My Higher grades are AAAAB and I'm a Widening Participant. My predicted grades for AH are AAB. I have done some virtual work experience due to COVID i couldn't do any 1 to 1 work expirience. I still have to do my UCAT but i think i will get 2700 and band 1. I speak 5 languages. Please anyone tell me what are my chances of having an offer?

Hello. So nervous about applications, like everyone, but second time round on a gap year I didn’t plan. 8 x 9 and 3 x 8 at GCSE, A*A*A* maths, bio, chemistry. Tons and tons of hospital volunteering and WEX at inner city hospital. UCAT 3080, band 1. No contextuals. Love Edinburgh, have lovely family and friends there, do I risk it?
