What UCAT score would you need to get an interview at Leeds University for Dentistry?

I'm sitting my UCAT in a couple days (second time round) and I'm on track for 2600 worst case scenario, I applied to Leeds last year because they had no cut off score (I got 2370). I'm not sure how they judge the UCAT but does anyone know what kind of score you need to get in? And do I have any hope of getting an interview with a 2600 score?

This is the second year that Leeds have done UCaT sp there isn’t much information to go by yet as previously was BMAT

Hi, i heard that they score you on a point basis. UCAT is judged on a score out of 5, top 20% gets you 5/5 etc... this is then combined with your A-level which are out of 8 and your GCSEs which are out of 24. What did you get for your GCSEs if you don't mind me asking.? Also, you said you applied last year, did you manage to get an interview?

Hi, in my GCSEs I got 9888777765, and I didn’t have any luck last year and didn’t get an interview anywhere

Hi
My son is considering Leeds again. Was rejected before interview last year I guess due to low UCAT 2480.
This year UCAT 2960 band 2 and achieved A levels A*A*A
GCSE 2x9 , 3 x 8 ,4 x7 and one 6. How they work out the GCSE score and achieved grades.?

Also wondering regarding Leeds,
Lower UCAT, band 1 SJ, 9 GCSEs @9 and A*AA, chem, bio, maths.
Trying to discover weighting on UCAT vs achieved results, PS with dentistry volunteering, + lots of work experience.
UniAdmissions website, i can't imagine it changing dramatically due to the BMAT change
