Hello Haya, I'm from Canada and planning to apply for 2025 entry. Is there any minimum age limit. I will be 17 when I join the school in September 2025 .

Anyone know if a UCAT score of 3300/Band 1 Predicted 3 x A* is good enough to apply to Cambridge, UCL and Imperial?

Hi!

I'm really confused about how to translate my grades, as I'm coming from an American school, so no GCSEs or equivalent middle-year program exams. I've contacted universities, but what I've gotten back is "we don't look at applications individually sry".

If an A* is 90%, and my school's A- grade (maximum A, not A+) is equal to 91.5%, is A- and A+ valid? Or are American schools raised to a higher standard, like 95%, because our curriculum is considered to be at a lower level? I've also taken a mix of Honours and non Honours classes throughout high school, so is that considered?

I'm so lost 😭

Hello! I am an international applicant who scored 2900 B2 in the UCAT - I would like to apply to Imperial, however, would it be too ambitious?

Hi I am an international applicant who scored 2890 B3 in the UCAT.

I am planning to apply to Southampton, Sheffield, Newcastle and Leicester.

Would this be fine?

I have also looked at the cutoffs and southampton and leicester are fine for me but newcastle and sheffield might be a bit risky, with sheffield having 2870 cutoff in 2023 while the cutoff for newcastle is unknown for 2024 (the lowest ive seen is 2910 b1).

Anyone know the cutoff for sheffield and newcastle for 2024?

GCSEs: 10x 9s 1 btec distinction star
A level predicted: A* A* A
good work experiences

for internationals newcastle does not consider gcses, instead the scoring is purely based on ucat which is out of 60, and post interview scoring will be out of 50 with 3 marks being allocated for sjt (which i will score 1). Do u reckon its fine?

That was the previous scoring system. they are changing the scoring system this year.

Is pope a catholic?

Just asking for advice ....
