r/UCAT

Achieved AAA Bio Chem Maths, 2080 B2

Applying to:

ARU, cutoff for 2026 was 2010
BSMS, cutoff for 2026 was 1990
Glasgow, cutoff for 2026 was 1990 for RUK
Plymouth, notably low UCAT cutoffs

Been really thinking about this, maybe I’m overthinking? Just worried about if the cutoffs will increase that much this year or if i shouldn’t be worrying this much.

I’m currently uploading my application and just decided to put my PS into an AI detector. Unfortunately, it came back with the idea that it’s most definitely AI but I’ve genuinely written it all myself??

Honestly I’m getting super stressed because will this end up affecting my whole application?

Uea gateway year medicine

Keele

Plymouth

Sunderland

Please help me to check whether these are too risky. Only contexual to uea to wialify a gateway year medicine due to post code

I thought this was possible but my head of year is adamant that you can't, saying that they've even called UCAS to check (?) Anyone have any ideas on how to convince him since there really is nothing else I would put as my 5th, and would genuinely love to do dent

I’m a UK student applying for Medicine and I’m currently deciding which medical schools to apply to. I’m seriously considering the possibility of eventually moving to the US and applying for residency there, potentially in anaesthesiology.

I already understand that I’d need to go through the USMLE/ECFMG process and that being a UK graduate makes me an IMG.

What I’m trying to work out is which UK medical schools give students the best opportunities to build a competitive US application, particularly through:
US clinical electives / placements
Partnerships with US medical schools or hospitals
VSLO access
Opportunities to obtain US clinical experience and potentially US LORs
Research opportunities and publications
Strong biomedical/clinical research environments
Anaesthetics and ICU exposure
International connections
Support or experience with students pursuing USMLE/US residency
Examples of graduates who have actually gone on to US residency

At the moment I’m particularly looking at Cambridge, Imperial, KCL, UCL, Edinburgh, Oxford and Manchester.
For anyone who has experience with the US pathway, which UK medical schools would you prioritise for this purpose, and why?

I’m especially interested in people who have actually gone through the process or are currently studying medicine in the UK and planning to apply to the US, rather than general opinions about university prestige.

Im doing the ucat next year and im confused one what i should revise with once the itme comes? Textbooks? is medifly good?

I got 66 points. 35 for gcse 21 for 6th decile (2020) and 10 for b2. But the cut off it’s like 70+ points or something 😭. How the hell is it so high. Who is applying to hyms in the 8th decile. Should I apply I have no idea or should I go for lincon.

3A* achieved

Can yall drop the lowest ucat yk someone got and still got interview last yr

Hey guys does anybody know what uni would give me the best chance of an interview with 9988888877 and A*AA achieved a levels and a 1920 B2 UCAT.
Any advice would be appreciated!! Just scared of UEA as they use only UCAT to rank candidates and use UCAT post int

Hi im currently on a gap year and have already achieved A*AAA at a level (bio, chem, phys, maths) ucat score is 2330 band 2, and 11 a stars at gcse.
I’m thinking of applying to Oxford, but not sure if it’s too unrealistic with my a level results. I know I meet the entry requirements but it feels like most people applying have atleast 3 a stars at a level 😭 sorry if this is an annoying question just not sure if it’s good enough.

We've come to the end of the ucat cycle now, well done everyone we made it! That being said, I was wondering whether people felt medify/medentry was worth it in hindsight. I personally used medify, and found that it was rly rly hard, way harder than the acc test. It was to the point where the highest I ever got on medify was 2270, whilst in my actual thing it was 2470. It makes me think that just using the official resources might be better, so you get a better idea of the exam's true difficulty. Did others have similar experiences, and if so would you guys say using paid resources might not be worth it?

Achieved AAA in Bio Chem Maths, got a UCAT of 2080 B2,

im applying to Newcastle (partners), Glasgow, Plymouth and BSMS.

Would it be worth it to switch any of these out due to being too aspirational, and would ARU be fine for someone with my stats?

Just applied to Kings, QMUL, Leeds and Liverpool with 2010 b2 ucat and 98887777666 GCSEs.

What’s the verdict and don’t lie

I’m in Year 13 and my stats are A*AA predicted, 9999998887 GCSEs, 2200 band 2 UCAT. I’m also eligible for ESDP but I’ve heard that it’s very competitive. My other choices I’m thinking of Manchester, QMUL (both of which I’m contextual for), and Liverpool. Any help would be appreciated.

I don’t understand their point system at all. How much are they gonna give for my ucat score? Do they have a calculator or a chart that I can refer to? I’m still shortlisting and I really don’t want to apply blindly bc I’m an international student asw. They haven’t explicitly mentioned a cutoff or decile they expect, js smth about the sjt bands

My stats are 2120 b2 99999888887 and 2 A*s and one A and A achieved in AS FM. Do yall think i can get at least and interview to Cambridge or kcl? Risky but theyre my aspirations. My other choices are qmul and st georges i just want to stay in ldn

Hello everyone! I need some advice to ensure that I'm not making a really bad decision.

GCSES-9999988776 at a moderate level state school

UCAT- 2320 band 3

3A* predicted in biology, chemistry and maths.

I'm applying to Cambridge, Imperial, UCL and Queen Mary (home applicant).

I'm considered a contextual by all of them except UCL. Is this a really bad decision? I thought Queen Mary was a really safe option but I'm not quite sure anymore.
