Dear Ms Woldon,

 

Thank you for your email of 15^th December requesting information
concerning Widening Participation and Scholar's medicine statistics.
Colleagues within the University have provided the information you
requested below and attached.

 

Regarding the 2018 and 2017 medicine admission cycles.

 

Q1. I would like to know how many students that were apart of (preferably)
scholar's and the widening participation scheme received an offer in these
cycles.

 

+--------------------------------------------------------+
|  |2017 |2018 |
|------------------------------+------------+------------|
|  |Total|Offers|Total|Offers|
|------------------------------+-----+------+-----+------|
|ROGS (Realising Opportunities)|26 |16 |18 |10 |
|------------------------------+-----+------+-----+------|
|Scholars |9 |9 |9 |5 |
+--------------------------------------------------------+

 

 

Q2. I am also interested in how many students were accepted onto the
course despite missing their offer whatever it may have been.

 

Scholars and ROGS generally receive offers that are lower than the typical
offer of AAA at A Level. Please see the attached spreadsheets showing 2017
and 2018 offers. In 2017, 14 started on the medicine A100 course. In 2018,
2 started on the medicine A100 course

 

Q3. Lastly, I am interested if you have any information regarding the
likely UKCAT cut-off score the 2019 entry

 

No, we have not yet decided the UKCAT cut off score for 2019. Scholars and
ROGS are likely to receive a lower offer.
