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.

Hello there, does anybody know what Liverpool's selection process for interviews are, E.G. do they rank GCSEs or do they just see if you meet the minimum requirements? I know Liverpool interview a lot of people, so my second question is does anybody know what Liverpool uses to assess who to give offers after interview, do they only use interview performance or a more holistic approach, if so what exactly do they use in combination?

My daughter starts at Liverpool next week. She had a UCAT of 2590 and 7 x9's and 3 x 8 GCSEs and 3 A star predictions. You will need to check this years Admissions Criteria but last year everyone who met the academic criteria were then sent a Non Academic Information Form to complete. Liverpool like Work Experience and volunteering and evidence of activities outside of school. They then look at the NAIF in conjunction with UCAT to determine interview. Offers were given on interview performance. Good Luck.

Thank you very much for the information. Do you know generally what sorts of things Liverpool look for in interviews? And what I should from now to prepare for them.

Hiii, what band did your daughter get in situational judgement, also does she know anyone with a lower ucat score who got into liverpool dentistry (I got 2550 B3). Also is she contextual. TYSM!

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone who got an offer or interview for Liverpool or Dundee (English student) could share their UCAT scores? Mine is really low, so I’m curious what scores others had. Also, if anyone got rejected and was told it was due to their UCAT score, would you mind sharing what your score was?
Thanks so much!
