This is the feedback I received:

"Unfortunately, it was your UKCAT score that let you down but only slightly. The Course Selectors consider all the scores for those applicants who applied to Warwick. Your score was in the 66% tile and the cut-off will be on the 67/68%tile. Our waiting list for a place at the Selection Centre has applicants with these percentiles together with higher scores on the review of their UCAS forms than yourself. The review of your UCAS form by two independent assessors scored well but you did lose marks in that you did not detail life interests outside academic work ."

At least they gave me specific feedback (unlike the others!)....and I obviously didn't make it clear that I do have a life outside academia!! (hopefully by posting this, it'll help others not make the same mistake next year...not to make me look like a sad old woman!!)

I got a similiar response regarding my UKCAT score. I emailed them back querying this as when I rang up 2 weeks ago I was told my UKCAT score met the cut-off and from that point on my application would be considered on the UCAS application alone. So i'm a bit annoyed!!!
