Hi, I think you accidentally linked the GEM instead of the foundation year for 2022 entry.

I messed up in my UCAT so that brought my scoring down to 73. Would that be too risky despite meeting all criteria for this course being a WP student. I'm also a part of ambition Nottingham programme so does that mean my UCAT isn't counted as heavily?

Hi, I am confused, can I get some advice?. Do they score 6 GCSEs or 8 GCSEs for A108? On the entry requirement page, it says that a minimum of 5 GCSEs are needed. I have only 5 GCSEs because I didn't have the opportunity to sit more than 5. I called them yesterday and the lady told me that they will score my GCSEs in a different category (don't know what does it mean).I also sent them an email last week and got a reply today. The email says that they will not consider me with 5 GCSEs. I am confused now as two different persons of the admission team are saying different things. What should I do now? Should I call them again to clarify?

Hi, considering my stats, would i be more likely to get an interview from their foundation year course or their standard programme? Thanks sm !!

My stats are:
Biology - 9
Chemistry - 9
Physics - 9
Maths - 8
English literature - 8
Geography - 8
German - 7
Religious studies - 7
English language - 6
Health & social care (BTEC) - Distinction*

UCAT = 2630 B3
VR = 610
DM = 670
QR = 670
AR = 680

Predicted A-Levels:
Biology = A
Chemistry = A
Psychology = A*

Work experience:
- 1 week placement at King's College Hospital
- 1 week placement at Epsom Hospital
- 1 week GP placement
- Volunteering at local hospital for a couple of weeks
- Volunteering at Barnado's (charity shop) for 6 months

I also meet certain contextual criteria's:
In receipt of UCAT Bursary
1st in family to go into higher education
State school
Universal credit

I think they might decline you as if you are higher than an ABB, it says that they would recommend you take the main course. You could give them an email to ask. But I think the medicine deadline is gone already.
