your score is 8.056, you should get an interview x last year cutoff was 7.2 something. I highly recommend Bham btw x

Sorry, I have 10 GCSEs, I thought only 7 were needed.

9 = English lit,
7 grade 8's = English Lang, Chem, Maths, Bio, Physics, Geography, Arabic
2 grade 7's = Computer Science and Business Studies

You score 4.5 for GCSEs and 3.111 for UCAT. You’re above last years cutoff of 7.2 something but offer will be A*AA

Do you suggest I still apply despite my lower UCAT ? my other choice was Leeds but that is also a bit risky

Historically bham has required above 8, i can’t say with any degree of certainty whether this year will be similar to last year or prior years. Solely depends on your risk tolerance I’m afraid x the only thing I can say to you is if it were me, I’d make my choices as safe as possible

Thank you for the advice, as a resit student I don’t get much choices so I think my 4th choice will end up being risky anyway.
I will try and have a look and see if there are any other safer choices, any suggestions would be great
I would think 7.6+ would be ok. What were your first sit grades?

cant calculate your score without gcse and ucat breakdown. immediately I can tell you you seem to have more certain options than Sunderland as they are very subjective in their scoring and most likely I would not recommend notts without band 1 but to double check ill calculate your score when you provide the necessary information. also keep in mind that the amount of band 1s has significantly decreased this year so that may be to your benefit wrt notts, though Lincoln will be safer x

I achieved BCC
But I have emailed Birmingham and they said they will accept my resit aswell as my application due to my extenuating circumstances.
My achieved grades put me in the mud tbh because the the unis that accept resits anyway have much higher UCAT cutoffs

I would be happy to apply to bham in that case x yes that is the caveat but your chances are not ruined, youve got this x
