Cardiff Med-school UCAT cut off was semi low 2026 entry. Plus life update lol

I know next years set will be seeking this info out so I thought I'd post that I recieved an interview invite for 2026 entry with a UCAT of 1980 and 27/27 academic points non contextual or welsh and saw someone else who got an invite with 1870 non contextual non welsh. Im feeling pretty possitive even though this has been a somewhat harsh application year imo with far more applicants than usual. 90% certain I will get an interview invite from the UEA as im local and have seen people get invites with lower scores than me whilst being non contextual. I've been waitlisted from BSMS being 20 points bellow the cut off :frown: and not sure if I will be interviewed by Newcastle with only 54 points but I am contextual and on the PARTNERS program. I will have to wait and see.If I find out I will only be interviewed by UEA and Cardiff I will still be pleased with that as a result and give interviews my absolute best.

UPDATE:I was invited to interview at UEA aswell but still waiting on Newcastle. Im relieved to be being interviewed by UEA aswell and pretty pleased with how things have gone although obviously being put on hold with brighton is a shame.
