Hi everyone. Good Luck with your choices! It’s nerve wracking, isn’t it. I noticed in last years similar thread that someone mentioned finding out the cut off for a particular uni. How would we know about this? Is it easily accessible soon?

we won't know until all the interview invites have been handed out, and then some unis will publish the cutoffs officially at the end of the cycle

It happens in different ways for different med schools and at different times. Some like Sheffield publish the day they send out invites, others like Plymouth include it on thr rejection letters, others do publish stuff but not until long after the fact and others tend to not really say much about it at all and it just ends up being discerned or estimated based on who reports getting interviews and who doesn't on the TSR threads.
Sometimes the published cut offs are not the same as the practical cut offs. So may publish via an FOI that the lowest UCAT was x, but actually that belonged to somebody with WP or extenuating circumstances. The practical level for an interview non WP was higher for example.
The all do it at different times and with differing levels of transparency.
The best thing to do in my view is to join the course thread for all your med school choices and keep upto date with what is happening that way. You will soon get a feel for what is happening and get some moral support into the bargain.
Good luck

Thanks. I already follow my unis. I was just wondering how that person knew cut offs so early but now understand every uni is different. Thanks

Med school applicants aren’t though.
Maybe late next week for a few….
But some med school interview invites go on being sent out until March sometimes even later.
So it’s a long waiting game I’m afraid.
