    The link is here: UKCAT score distibutions info
    and while 32% are outside 1 sd, a normal distribution is symmetrical, so roughly 16% above and 16% below

    I see we are competing for the 7 and 2 spaces for internationals at ICL and Oxford, respectively.

    Good luck (to me)!

    10 places for Imperial and 7 (to my understanding) for Oxford. Correct me if wrong.

    Hmm, the 10 on Imperial GEP sounds correct. But I remember reading somewhere that only 2 for GEP (7% intake for approximately 32 spaces). No? What is the source for 7 slots? Don't get me wrong, I'd be jumping up and down if there were 7 spaces for GEP.
