    I'm wondering if anyone has any other cut off scores for other unis. This is my third year applying with no luck...don't want to give up but if the UKCAT is my only barrier then what next?!?!

    (I had VR 620, AR 700, DA 760, QR 550)
    I guess it was the low QR, its quite an important section. All my scores were very close, highest 710 lowest 670 I think.... best of luck with the UKCAT this year. In my opinion the interviews are what it really comes down to though, UKCAT just gets your foot in the door.

    Believe it or not...I've got the email from Newcastle in my inbox. That was the reason and score they gave me. Warwick, I was told by one of the selection tutors for Leicester, also have a high cut off score.

    BTW I'm talking about the GEP not standard entry...


    Thanks Hype, mine's coming up on Wednesday, trying to keep it cool. It was my nerves that got me last time. I had a bit of a panic attack. Anyway, just call me a cucumber this year

    Enjoy it?!!? What kind of masochistic...

    That's what my mum used to say to me, still not got round to enjoying an exam yet

    I'm kind of resigned to not doing well, may well end up being admitted to my ward in the afternoon, rather than going to work (in-patient psych ward).

    I got a 1st for Biology and applied last year, Barts said, when I didn't even get an interview, that the cut off score was 2730 (average 685.2) for the GEP. So I would think carefully about your options. I wasted a year last year by being naive about where would offer me an interview. They do use the score as a divider, you need to find out which ones you will have luck with!

    Kings only take the top 95th percentile (from what I've heard of ukcat scores)

    Of course we did. I think that "top 95th percentile" sounds like a distractor on a UKCAT question!

    Did my UKCAT today and got an average of 685. Now having major issues trying to figure out where to apply - do I go for all GEPs or 50:50?! Leaning towards imperial gep and kings gep.

    Anyone know what the top 5th percentile equates to?

    I got the SHOs at work to have a go, they all hated it especially AR!
