Heya these are my stats:
UCAT: 2880 B1
GCSEs: Nine 9s and two 8s
Predicted A-Levels: 3 A* for Bio Chem Maths
Preferences: Don’t really mind where it is. Would prefer a campus uni to a city one, also would prefer a course where some time for studying abroad is allowed)
Contextual: Sometimes meet a few depending on criteria.
Unis I’m thinking of:
- Manchester (guaranteed interview as my UCAT’s likely above the threshold)
- Leicester (got 60.5/64, but I think 59.5 was the cut off last year so not too sure about this. My contextuals would only help in borderline groups, and am also not liking the A*AA requirement (I like to be safe 😞) )
- St. George’s (not really heard many positive things about it, so am wary)
- Aston
- Newcastle
- Southampton (I think my personal statement should be ok but they do rank UCAT scores, but the lowest invited was 2750s last year I heard, so could be an option)
- HYMS (Points-wise = GCSEs (30/30), B1 (15/15), contextual (11/15) and UCAT depending on the deciles I’m guessing (25-30/40) - so 81 points, read on SR cut off was 75 last year? I am leaning towards this med school also because I fit their contextual criteria, so they’d offer 2AB if I did get through)
- UEA (again ranking, it says you need to meet the threshold to get invited for interview but I can’t seem to find what it was. Also read on student room that it’s 50 percent based on UCAT after interviews, and 86% of those interviewed with UCAT between 2800-2890 got offers, quite skeptical of these figures though)
- Plymouth
Any advice is really greatly appreciated, or any unis I should instead look at.
Also if anyone goes to any of these unis I’d love to know your opinions of your med school too!
Thanks in advance
