r/UCAT

So long story short.... I fked up.

I had an imperial and brum uni offer, the imperial offer was A*AA but the brum offer was AAA, so naturally I insured brum.

Come results day, unfortunately I got A* A* A instead of AAA so I had to go to Imperial instead of brum.

I liked brum more because it seemed less nerdy and more relaxed.

My thinking process was, since I insured brum, I could reject imperial even though my offer was confirmed and I could go brum instead.

(THIS WAS NOT THE MOVE I REPEAT DO NOT DO THIS)

I rejected my offer to the realization I was put in clearing, and I have called imperial multiple times and they have either not picked up or told me that there was nothing they could do. I have attached receipts below, what the hell do I do!!! 😭😭😭😭

I really wanted a higher UCAT but QR failed me even though I was getting rlly high in medify, I got mid 2200s, I have nine 9s one 8 and one 7 in fm, predicted A*A*A but will try push the A up bcs my school tends to hold back on predicting people 3A*s, my personal statement is really really good and I’ve got a range of cohesive activities which aren’t random, for example I founded the medical club and I’m doing a research project. I go to a private school which is kinda academically strong but not insanely strong.

i just did a medentry mock (#E67) and got 1540 b2 😭my exam is on saturday this week. i’m thinking of rescheduling again but i just want this bs to be over

i found that verbalising my steps out loud increases my scores significantly somehow 😭

i do whisper but i don’t wanna be annoying asf on exam day by whispering to myself for every question, incase i distract the people around me but saying it in my head doesn’t have the same effect

should i just do it anyway, every man for himself 🫣🫣 but i feel bad

got 2330 ucat, 10 9s and 1 grade 8 at gcse, secured a*aa in a levels results day. is it possible/likely enough to get an Oxford interview (let alone an offer), or should I just stick to my Cardiff offer? thanks! I’m not sure since I feel others applying would have straight a*s. any help is much appreciated!!!

My son got 2420 sjt 3 will it be an issue getting interview in Oxford imperial ? Anyone got interview and got place in this

Hello everyone doing their Ucat this summer. I keep getting the posts of people panicking with a low ucat however I’m here to say with a ucat score of 1820 and a band 3 I managed to get into queens university Belfast starting this September and get a deferred offer for Liverpool.

For Queens I was given a guaranteed interview which it did not matter what ucat score I got however, I did get an interview for Sunderland and Liverpool without any special considerations.

The only way I could imagine I got these interviews is that I had a great personal statement so if you have gotten low on your ucat now is the time to focus all your strength into making a personal statement which the application team will actually be intrigued in, something that is extremely unique to you.

Best of luck to everyone applying this year

Like we never left.

Think I could have done better but I'm glad its over honestly
