The thing with Leeds is we have no idea as to whether they're going to be a high or low UCAT university since this is their first year using the UCAT in their selection process. We can't simply say that because they were previously a university that accepted students with relatively average BMAT scores then this will be the same as the UCAT as the BMAT is considerably more difficult than the UCAT.

It's a gamble I'm afraid. Either a lot of people won't apply as they don't want to risk it and therefore less competition or a lot of people will apply as they think Leeds will have a low cutoff on their first year and therefore more competition.
