Medicine application rejection

I got 2600 band 1 on my UCAT, yet I have been rejected from all 4 of the universities I applied to. These unis said they only look at UCAT score in order to give an interview. Is my score not what they're looking for?

UCAT scores for the 2026 cycle haven't been released to universities yet?
Did you fulfill other requirments (e.g predicted grades), or are you an international student? (cause some unis don't take international students)
If your sure there has been a mistake best to call the universities and find out why

"UCAT will deliver your result directly to your chosen UK universities in early November."UCAT Results | UCAT Consortium - so clearly it is not because of your UCAT score

UCAT is used once you meet their basic requirements (eg specific GCSE grades such as a 6 in English Language, English language test if international, studying for certain A levels, sometimes predicted grades). If you meet their other basic requirements, then you need to check there isn’t an error in your application.
