Forgive my lack of knowledge but would that be the university of exeter or exter as in the part of oxford uni?
There is not enough info stats from you, ie GCSE and your English language achievement

The previous post was referring to Uni of Exeter. Your UCAT score is unfortunately a bit on the lower side for international student, so Oxbridge is a big risk.

Hi, the country I’m from does not use GCSEs and as for English proficiency we’re a primarily English speaking country and I study in a school that uses English as the medium of teaching so I was told it wasn’t necessary

Unis (some) are likely to assess all international students, ie results achieved before your predicted A levels. In the meantime post your FULL stats in the link above, you should be advised soon.

Im referring to exeter OP, could definitely post your stats to the medical school thread and you’d get the suggestions you need.

Hi, I’m going for a contextual offer at Exeter for medicine.
Is it true you need an A*A*A* prediction?

No, the contextual offer would be a bit pointless otherwise.

You would need that prediction to apply, after checking your eligibility for a contextual offer, they then will give you a contextual with lower grades but to apply initially you do need those entry requirements as like any other uni
