Does doing UCAT give you any advantage even if you’re not applying for medicine?

Even if i’m not applying for medicine, will doing the ucat give me an advantage in applications for biomedicine? Would it still be worth to do?

No. It's not part of the selection process for any degree other than medicine or dentistry. I don't think UCAT even send your scores to the universities if you don't have medicine or dentistry course codes on your UCAS application.

ok thanks!
so will universities not receive it as part of my application?
i started off ucat revision a few weeks ago, but now i’ve decided i no longer want to do medicine, but i’m thinking that since i’ve already started ucat, i might as well finish it?
saying someone had the same predictions as me and also a good personal statement, is it possible that the university might see my ucat score and decide that it gives me an advantage in logical thinking or something over the other person?

No, they won’t consider your UCAT score. Only if the entry requirements for your course ask for UCAT, that’s the only scenario where the uni will look at it and consider it. And as the person said above, I don’t think they even get your UCAT score if you’re not applying to med/dentistry
