A new cycle of applications will start soon, and I thought I would share some admissions stats. Especially for those who got rejected , apart from making sure you work on your weaknesses which might have tripped you over (interviews, MMIs, personal statement, work experience, grades), I recommend applying strategically and paying attention to the application process (below are some tips from my own research but also from the very helpful thread on this forum for the current application cycle)
1) Note stats for Edinburgh and Glasgow for the “rest of the UK” and “Scottish students” or higher rejection pre-interview for some universities, don’t apply to all the “top competition”, spread equally.
2) Or check what the application process is like:
- Bristol asks you to write some essays (SAQ)
- Liverpool, Surrey – Recorded MMI (online, 1 week to submit, 30 min for 6-7 questions)
- Nottingham – online interview via teams with live people, 30 min (this was my favorite)
Play at your strengths!
3) Personal statement (PS) – read the application process.
- UCLAN – has a format for the PS - if you don’t fit it, you will get rejected
- Liverpool, Surrey and Bristol do not usually read PS from UCAS (2024 statement) unless you are tied with other candidates on the scores.
I will update this topic once stats for 2024/25 cycle is released (and Surrey an Harper & Keele hopefully).

Glasgow and Edinburgh are broken down for Rest of UK (RUK) and Scotland fee Rate (SFR).

Hello No. I can't get it to work, you have to register on Surrey's encrypted portal but they will only send registration to an email address associated with the "what do you know website" - which you don't have (i.e. someone who works at "what do they know" has to repsond) and the codes they send are only valid for 10 min, so by the time anyone from the website looks at it, it expires. I gave up 😅
