Im not entirely sure, some will give you a chance but you could
1. Check the websites they usually write the UCAT req under entry requirments
2. Call or email the university in questions and ask the admission what the sj req is

Hi, yes, you have options !

Post your Information in the "which med school" megathread in the format of the first post, and hopefully someone will get back to you soon.

It's busy, going to get busier, and it's the summer holidays, so you may have to be patient
We try and answer in post date order..

Would be hard to get into Lincoln without a band 1, everyone in my cohort had band 1

Hi there,

It’s great you are looking at multiple universities 😊

On our Medicine webpage, we state: While we include the UCAT score within our selection process, we do not have a standard cut off value. It does depend on the year. I would suggest reaching out to our Medicine Admissions team for specific questions around UCAT and the entry requirements:
📞 01245 687906
📧 [email protected]

We also have a general Admissions team too:
📞 +44 (0)1245 686868
📧 [email protected]

Have you visited us at an Open Day? Our next one is on Saturday 5^th October. You can come down and speak with the Medicine lecturers and students, look around the facilities and see if we are a good fit for you. Please do feel free to book your place today 😊

Best of luck!
