yess!! I think its been around 1700/1500 previously so quite a large drop its prob because ppl know ucat scores and also people were grilling others about ucat telling them don't apply if ur ucat is lower than 3000 and stuff like that. I don't get it because Oxford look at all aspects of you application

I dont think advisers on TSR are grilling medicine applicants not to apply <3000 but stating a simple fact that no one knows how Oxbridge, UCL, Imperial and those exBMAT med schools will assess applicants. This simple fact then lies in the hands of each applicant if they wish to take the risk - ultimately is going to med school more important than going to Oxbridge?

Both Oxbridge do look at applicants holistically but UCAT results does play a part - don't you agree?? Not sure what else that you can't get your head around with. The aim of the TSR advisers, as far as I could see, is to help as many as possible to get into med school...
