I’ve been told that at the open day in June the director of admissions said that this will be the first year that they will not be giving out the questions in advance
Good It was a complete nonsense giving them out in advance You want to see which candidates can think on their feet Not which have the best help at preparing the best answers

called to ask for everyone- interview qs no longer being sent out but a general idea of the stations will now be provided instead! just prep well and you should be fine x
That’s well below last years standard cut off (2850) so if this is genuine you must be contextual even if you don’t know it.
in fact if you aren’t contextual why would you have applied to Sheffield with 2700? Doesn’t make sense to me….. And I note this is your first TSR post from this account. Others can draw their own conclusions as to the validity of your post.
someone at my school got an invite with 2600, i saw the actual email invite and everything, and they're non-contextual. sheffield doesn't operate a lower contextual cutoff anyway, unless they have started this yr.

Sheffield has operated a purely ucat cut off system to date.
As Sheffield traditionally let candidates know the cut off we should know soon enough.
But I very much doubt that all candidates with 2600+ are getting interviews

It does seem low compared to previous years. But as its the first full cycle since Julian left so new Med dir, so perhaps a few things are different. No advance notice of questions for example ! No publication of UCAT cut off prior to interview invite issue.
Also maybe fewer people applied ? Even so 2700 and 2600 do seem low in comparison to previous years. Good luck to them. Lots of people will be kicking themselves that they didn't risk it in that case !
Also, seem to be fewer people saying ints received?

Let’s not kid ourselves
The Sheffield cut off is probably 2890
Those posting genuine ucat scores which are significantly lower than Sheffield has been for years are almost certainly contextual.
There are lots of contextual flags. Some may not wish to share they have them Others may genuinely not be aware they have them.
If your theory is correct where are all the rest of the missing scores?
Lots posting 2890+ scores And a relative few posting significantly lower. Lower scores (until 2500) are more common not less common. So to argue that those low scores are representative of a lower cut off is an argument divorced from reality. Both the reality of the posts seen today (almost all have been 2890+) and the reality of previous evidence.
That’s well below last years standard cut off (2850) so if this is genuine you must be contextual even if you don’t know it.

Hi Thankyou for your reply, I’m happy to provide proof of UCAT and interview invite if you would like. The reason that was my first post is that is the first interview invite I have received so up to now had no other reason to post on TSR. As you say about the high cut off for last year compared to my score it can only come down to me being unaware that I fall under contextual circumstances.
I will let others draw their conclusion on the validity of my post following this reply.

please don’t post anything from the university re your application ( ie don’t ever breach your own privacy- we at TSR can’t speculate all we can do is wish you luck and an offer!)

Yes We don’t need to see it But there are so many contextual factors it’s almost certainly one of those There are other posting strangely low scores too. But the confluence of scores is 2890+
