They ask for your UCAT number because if there is any sort of hiccup linking your UCAT account, they can use the id to manually download your results. Its nothing more than this, stop worrying.

Bristol doesn't have a cut off, they do have a threshold for interviews, though.

For the previous years, that was 2520, which I think is around 1880 in the new system. However, keep in mind that the thresholds can change depending on various factors. With the new structure of the ucat, there MIGHT be a change in the ucat threshold for 2026 entry.

I personally think that the ucat threshold will go down, but there is obviously no way of actually knowing that right now💔💔

Hey, everyone who applied to Bristol has an applicant dashboard. Try to find the email they sent named 'Applicant acknowledgement', there is a link that takes you to the dashboard. Have you tried accessing it?
Also, ucat delivers the results. Pretty sure the unis only ask you your ID just in case they have problems accessing it.

Any ideas when interviews might be given out? Tried to look on other past threads but I have no clue. Saw someone for regular med get an offer at Bristol just wondering if they give it out around the same time?

In previous years Gateway applicants were interviewed in separate sessions to the 5-year applicants - so don't worry about what is happening with their interviews/offers. They will release your interview slots in due course and there is nothing to worry about.

Gateway and Pathways (etc) students are treated separately to the main medicine cohort and will be on a different time line to interview invite. Try to relax. No news is good news.
