Applying to :
QMUL
KCL
Uni if Bristol
Uni of Southampton (this option is still not sure)

Sri Lankan GCE O/Ls 10 As.(Highest grade offered in Sri Lankan O/L is A)
IELTS 7.0
Predict: 4 A & 1 B in Sri Lankan GCE A/Ls.I did 5 Subjects; Bio,Chemistry,Physics,IT and English.
My referee(the Head of Science of my school) has said that I am an all rounder in school( I think this will be a plus point)

Just wondering whether my score is enough to apply to QMUL & KCL.Any idea? As I am living in Sri Lanka it will be helpful if u people say somethind about this.
I would say go for it...having an average 600+ score is a respectable score and besides i would think the more important part of the application would be the personal statement. so work hard on that and you should be fine..

I quote what qmul sent to me

''Thank you for your interest in Barts and the London. There is no UKCAT cut off per se. It is decided on a year by year basis, and is dependant upon the scores of the candidates and the number of candidates we would like to interview. As such, the cut off score changes every year. We use the UKCAT very heavily, as we use it to determine who we are going to interview. The decision to apply is left up to you. Kind Regards,Admissions.''

I really belive you should apply to places where you know you have a higher chance of getting in. I mean you have to start questioning yourself about whether you really want to do medicine cuz if you do then where you go to study it should not really be a problem.....600+ is definitely a respectable score but the question is are you willing to risk it....xxx

Hi just wondering if anybody has experienced this particular mess up.
I sent my UCAS form off yesterday and just this minute I realised that I forgot all about putting on my UKCAT Score! What a fool!

I know its pretty much accepted that that pearson send it to the unis but if I phoned UCAS tomorrow and asked them to put it on would they do it do you think? Would it mean that my application was therefore submitted as late?

Its not majorly important I know, since it is sent but just thought I'd ask if anyones experienced the same. Thanks guys.

There's no need for it to be on there. Why make such a fuss?

I haven't put my score on my UCAS form...

Well I put my UKCAT score down as "Entrance Exams" or something like that. I had an option to then choose UKCAT as the exam and enter module marks and the overall average.

Well I phoned UCAS and they said that pearson do send confirmation but it is important to let the universities you're applying to know that you've actually taken the UKCAT so it was suggested that I email the unis.
