Hi, Just looked at the 2024 Medicine admissions policy. Is it true that they will not look at personal statements as deeply as last year? The document says: "Selection process 4.1 If you meet the minimum entry requirements at Level 2 (typically GCSEs) and Level 3 (typically A Levels), have submitted an acceptable personal statement and reference, and have completed the UCAT within the required timeframe, your application will be given an academic score based on the Level 2 and 3 qualifications achieved." Will the academic score be the main way of selecting candidates for interview?

PS assessment has always been binary rather than scored - your PS has to tick the boxes they want ticked, but if it doesn't, you can "fail" at this stage
