Question for Medicine September 2024 intake

Dear All,

I am an International student applying for Medicine in the UK for the September 2024 intake.

I got a 3190 in UCAT with SJT band 1. My IGCSE score is all 9 and 1 A*. My Predicted IB is 7 for Maths, Biology and Chemistry HLs, with a predicted score of 43.

I have 2 weeks of shadowing experience in reconstructive surgery and internal medicine departments.

So far the Medical schools I am looking at are: Bristol, Birmingham and Sheffield. With Biomedicine at Kings.

Should I look at Newcastle or Aston or Nottingham or any other as my safe option? Any other medical schools I should consider, but not listed above?

Appreciate this group's advice on which 4 medical schools I could prioritise strategically for UCAS, to have the best chance for getting offers.

Many thanks in advance - look forward to your inputs !

your stats look great and should you apply to newcastle, aston or nottingham, they'd all interview you. in terms of offers though, aston generally has the highest post interview success rate (it was 83% for 2019 entry, 86% for 2020 entry and 75% for 2021 entry)

Thank you for the quick response & information. I saw this 2 posts on Aston

Is there any information about the post-interview success rate for international students for Medical courses in Newcastle and Nottingham as well? Be great to know, I scored a 142 on the Nottingham website.
