I mean if you submitted your choices recently you have 14 days from when you submitted to substitute any choices. I’ve heard Barts prioritise 1st class degrees and also tend to take UCAT scores in the 7th decile and above so wouldn’t be too late to swap it to another alternative - are you Scottish or RUK btw?

I’m RUK so I’ve been having my doubts about the Scottish unis, particularly Aberdeen since they will only allow a max of 5 RUK candidates for 2025 entry 😭 idk if I should swap it with another…

Hey guys, I got 2570 and B2, so we are all within a similar UCAT region,

I’ve applied to UCLAN before, and got rejected after interview. Does anyone know how many people they interview

This process is so tiring but I think UCLAN is our best shot

How many times have you previously applied to UCLan and what were your stats if you don’t mind me asking?

That’s a good idea but my only concern is what uni id substitute with cause my A levels weren’t the best so can’t apply to any uni that still looks at A level despite being a grad 🥲. So I think I just have to bank on my degrees and hope the unis don’t really stress on my UCAT ahaha. Yea I’m RUK too and I’m worried about Aberdeen too, hopefully we’ll be fine and make the 5 🤞🏽

Really? What about if you submitted on the 15th? Would you not still be within the 14 day allowance?
