The BIG UKCAT choices thread.

[nerdman]

Hey

Almost ready to submit my application, but i have one place left to decide upon ¬¬ i have a ukcat of 682.5, so any suggestions lol? I applied for bmat but i doubt i would get into oxbridge so theres no point, and i don't want to go to london.. does any1 know how much emphasis nottingham place on the ukcat? thanksssss

[buchaneyes]

682.5 is a good score, probably top 10% (see thread here:UKCAT score distibutions info) so ukcat places all seem ok (i dont know about any specific cut-offs though)

Newcastle, So'ton ... GEP or not?

Keele have no UKCAT cut-off. Not sure about UEA but I don't think it's used massively.

Hi Kinkertz - GEP is what I am looking at really (unless it seems unrealistic in which case I will consider the 5 year courses).

Thanks

Anyone know for sure about Peninsula? That is my number one choice.. You think i stand a chance with ukcat average being 612.5?

yeah does anyone know about how peninsula use the UKCAT?

[mchaudhry]

Hey could someone give some advice plz on what unis i should go for out of these:
Kings 6 year, SOTON 6 year, peninsula/keele/Barts, aberdeen/st andrews/st georges

GCSE's: 1A*, 4.5A's, 3B's and a C
A level predicts: AAA
UKCAT: 620 (pretty bad i know lol)

Conorcd - thank-you so much for replying and just can't find any decent info on the forums, everyone seems to be speculating and have heard loads of different things!!! I guess info from the open day would be pretty accurate. I can't get through to their admissions dept on the phone, tried all day Friday and today and have sent an email but guess they are really busy. Oh well fingers crossed my PS is good enough!!

650 would get you an interview at N/C for 5 year and definitely fine for your other choices for 5 year. GEP seem to want higher. there was a link on here that might help. will find it and post it asap
