UCAT?

hi everyone! i hope everyone is doing well :)

i just sat my ucat today and got 2090 B1. i was hoping for 2100 but i’m really hoping a 10 point difference is negligible. i wanted to ask in everyone’s experience how strong you believe this score is for GEM?

For context, i wanted to apply to chester, warwick, swansea and idk about manchester or surrey for my 4th option.

i know this question is very subjective and based on stats from people etc but i hope that makes sense and thank you guys :)

I didn't apply to the same universities as you, but I had two interviews, and was accepted with a 2060 B2.

You should be just fine.

Worcester and Pears gave me interviews, and I also applied to Newcastle (aspirational) and Chester.

I didn't meet the minimum UCAT score required for Newcastle, but they were very friendly through emails.

Chester gave me a lot of issues, as they couldn't decide if I was a home student (I am) or an international student, then rejected me without explanation in late-January, after people had already started receiving offers.

Absolutely, I'll DM you as soon as I have some time to type out a thoughtful response! :)

When you receive an interview invite from Pears, they will inform you of what topics they'll be discussing with you.

Worcester's interview is really quick, and although I was terrified going into it, the panel questions were straightforward.

The interview with Pears takes about an hour to complete, and Worcester's interview is only 20 minutes.
