No I think that a lot of people are applying this year (looking at current statistics) but because a few of the dedicated volunteers have left like ecoiler and becasuetheknight people may not post as much cause it is taking longer for them to get their reply (no offence to terrific volunteers giving their time and effort to these threads).

Yes u are right when you say that u would get 54 points if you get 23 points for UCAT but I would call/email them just to make sure also for 2022 entry 51 points were needed for national to get an interview.Also I am applying from west midlands so fingers crossed for us :borat:

@Haluro how many points do you have if you don’t mind me asking?
And I should have 23 points since the 2nd decile begins at 2300 and I am above that shouldn’t I ? But I will call on Monday to check

Hey!!! I seen on last years tsr that a guy got rejected pre interview as he met the requirements for the 5 year course yet still applied for the 6 year course despite meeting the contextual offer criteria. Your stats look really good so if feel it would be better for you to apply for the 5 year course as your gcses are really strong and you have a good ucat. However, I would call them up if I was you and tell them your grades etc and ask if your fine applying for the 6 year course
