Hi. Please can someone help. My son applied for Medicine with foundation year to HYMS and we based this on progress 8 score published for 2023/2024 which was well below average. He took his GCSE exams in May/June 2024. He just completed the additional information form and they said they will take into account progress 8 score from 2022/2023. He took his SATS exam. We are confused.

Check this link on HYMS. It seems to indicate if your school is on the list based on 22/23 then you get the points

Hi. Thanks. Yes, it does. Hence, I have emailed the Uni to ask because his cohort is 2023/2024 as he took the exams in summer 2024. So they should ideally be using that years’ progress 8 score. Not sure why they are using the Progress 8 score from previous year 2022/23.

Does anyone know how many points you had to get last year for an interview?

The A100 page for last year seemed to indicate 72.

I only found the total possible scores for GCSEs (35) but I’m not sure on how many points each grade is

In their email they did say end of November onwards they will be sent. I am not sure if they send them in batches or not tho?

Last year they gave 71 interviews and 75 offers so over 100 percent offer rate u should be fine mate dw

They said at the open day they have been granted funding for another 10 places so perhaps another 10-15 offers as well

Just checked their insta. Looks like they will be sending interviews in batches in order of scoring. So fingers crossed..
