My sympathy. What is your UCAT score?

1960 Band 1, I was dissapointed but it was 63rd percentile so I thought it might be enough

Manchester told me the reason for rejection was my UCAT RIP, I'm just not naturally intelligent and have average aptitude which is why I sucked at it even though I started preparation in April and did about 300 hrs in total because I am a little sweat.

Hi
Please do not put yourself down. You have the right attitude. My son got 2480 the first attempt then took gap year and re took it this time got 2960. I am pretty sure if take this exam again you will score highly. Chin up and do your best with your other options and also your A levels.

Fingers crossed for Cardiff or Plymouth then. Last year Plymouth didn't send out interview invites until February tho, I believe so it could be a long wait!! Cardiff favour strong GCSE's more than UCAT score to make their initial selection cuts, so hopefully that will be in your favour more?

I’ve heard that they’ll be late this year because Plymouth are only taking around 20 applicants this years. It’s the reason I didn’t apply to Plymouth

Wow you got amazing GCSE's - so you are clearly intelligent! Yep Cardiff is your best bet and hopefully with those GCSE's you should be good. You will get the 28/28 points. You only need one offer - so still in with a shot.
