UKCAT GEP cut-offs 2008 - hearsay abounds!
Of course, this is a highly speculative thread - no doubt it'll be full of reports from friend's of friend's big sister's neighbour's cat's, Ferris Bueller style. Still, seeing as a lot of med schools seem intent on ranking the god-awful UKCAT, I want to be as well armed as possible when making UCAS applications. I'll be damned if I use one of my four only for it to go completely unread after they've inspected my UKCAT.
Imperial have spoken of a 15% cut-off, Oxford a 40%. From trawling old threads, it seems that last year 650 was the cut-off for Oxford, with 760 supposedly 'guarenteeing' an interview, but this doesn't seem to map up with the notion that 700 represents 1 s.d. from the mean and hence top 15%.
I'm hopelessly confused, but hopefully we'll be able to cobble together a sense of what you need for where.
ps - sorry if this has been covered before - I'm new and couldn't see all this info in a single thread, so thought I'd start one.
Good luck to all those wrestling with the CAT in the coming weeks!
