    Another graduate applicantion question..welcome any help and thanks so much in advanc

    Hi guys,

    I've been coming to this forum on and off for the last few months. I'm a 3rd year Bio-medical student applying for the 5 yr course.

    There are 5 unis I'm looking at Aberdeen, Barts, HYMS, King's and UEA, I just need to cut it down to 4!

    I would really hope you guys could help me with decision. So here are some of my achievements.

    -My UKCAT score was (610,680,690,680) - 665

    -My grades were Biology (B), Chemistry (B) and Physics (C)

    -For my GCSEs I received 6 A* and 4As

    -To be considered for an interview/ an offer do you just look at predicted grade or would you look at the average marks from the 1st and the 2nd years? I had to ask this question because, some universities ask for at least an average of 65% from 1st and 2nd year.

    My average % from both 1st and 2nd year is 58% but I have been predicted 2(i) by my tutor.

    I'm sorry to take a lot of your time but I would be grateful if you could answer my questions above and I would welcome any suggestions.

    ok, instead of writing the same reply for the n-th time, I think I'll just start posting this link from now on:

    What are my chances with given grades and UKCAT score of X ?

    As for your predicted class of degree, it shouldn't matter what your grades are right now - your reference gives the predicted performance based on his judgment, and aberdeen admissions staff will not try and re-estimate this themselves. If your reference (tutor) said you'll get a 2.1, and u got B in Chemistry, I think it's clear that you meet the requirements.
