Official: University of Nottingham A100 2024 Entry Applicant thread

how many points out of 152 would you say is safe enough for a good chance of interview?

Last year's cut off was around 129 - to be safe would want margin above 130 (and be above 125 for lincoln). Band 1s needed under their scoring unfortunately. (Note - they do also have some guaranteed interview programmes - see website.)

I calculated my points but I'm not sure if I did it right. Could you calculate and double check for me please if you can?

UCAT 2820 band 2
VR 610
DM 670
QR 770
AR 770

GCSEs top 8: 99999888 (including bio, chem, maths, english lang)

thank you!

No it's a great score. I know you've posted on the which medical school thread - I will take a look and respond but not sure on some of the contextual questions (never really looked at qmul for instance). Reubenn etc are on the ball though!

Hey,
I got 610 VR 600 DM 770 AR 650 and SJT Band 1. I also got 14 A*s at GCSE (im from Wales so we use the old system). Im guessing that gives me 40+60+32 = 132/152 points. Would that be competitive for Nottingham or Lincoln this year?
Thanks

Notts cut off last year 129. Could move up if more band 1s this year or more band 1s apply strategically there. 132 should be ok but not risk free. Lincoln cut off was around 123 so v safe

Are you sure that Notts and Lincoln have different cutoffs? Also how is competition for places like? Doesn't nottingham have bigger capacity for spaces?

Hey, I attended the Notts open day and loved the university ever since. I just did my cat and got a score of 2750 B1

VR: 540
DM:670
QR: 770
AR:770
SJT: Band 1

My top 8 GCSEs (that are required as mentioned on their website) give me a total of 30/32

Overall I would have ended up with 130/152

Would this be a comfortable score to get into interviews considering this year?

Hi.
Day after UCAT and feeling like a huge weight has been lifted. Have I calculated my Nottingham Score correctly?
I have:
9 GCSE at level 9 so that gives me 32 points.
Situational Judgement Band = 60 points
UCAT. VR. 630 therefore 2x8 = 16 points
DM 630 = 8 points
QR. 700 = 8 points
AR. 820 = 12 points
I do have worked that correctly it gives me 136 total.
I also have extenuating circumstances.
Is Nottingham worth an application. It is so competitive to get into Medicine - I don’t want to waste an application.
Anyone have any suggestions with my stats?
TIA

yes, you have calculated it correctly, and yes, that is a good score for nottingham
