Hi, I really want to go to KCL for medicine but my ucat score is low I got 1980 band 2 (2025) which is 2640 band 2 in 2024 scoring.
Would I have a chance I got 999988888 for my gcses? I am non-contextual.
My predicted grades are also A*A*A and I do EPQ.


Hi,
I hate to be harsh but you will get rejected from KCL with that ucat score with no interview. Last years cutoff was 2900+ which is around 2140+ in new scoring so you should not apply there.

Unfortunately this info is incorrect.

Lowest UCAT was 2800/2850ish for KCL last year. However for OP @Isa_22037, it is unlikely you will be considered for interview selection from KCL with your UCAT score.

You will have a better chance at Brunel, KMMS instead.
