If I take alevel biology chemistry and psychology for alevels. Will unis like birmingham uni prefer applicants which take alevel bio, chem and physics/ maths for their alevels over psychology? or even for medicine as I am not sure if i want to be a dentist or doctor yet.

Are you Scot or RUK?

Hi, I’m a non contextual applicant RUK. I got 2740 band 2 and predicted A*A*A and GCSEs 9998888887. Is Glasgow a good option for me? Thanks

Hi everyone, my wee sister has just sat the UCAT and got a score of 2520 and was very disappointed. She would be counted as a Scottish student and has all As in her Nat 5s, Higher’s and Advanced Higher’s. Does she stand a chance of getting an interview ?

I think last year the cut off for Scottish home students was around 2600 + but I’m not sure about this

Yea I had seen that for 2022 but then I found 2023 statistics and it was much lower, still not 100% sure as when I asked the uni they didn’t provide much info

Glasgow don’t look at SJT right, I emailed them and they said they only look at the UCAT score can anyone confirm?
