A100 admission statistics - Overseas students
Dear University of Liverpool,
It would be of great help if you could answer the following questions:
For the past three admission cycles (Entry in 2020, 2019 and 2018):
1) Total number of overseas applicants
2) The UCAT threshold for overseas applicants to be invited to interview
3) The minimum score (out of 108) for overseas applicants to be invited to interview (I've seen this in the Departmental Supplement to the Admissions Policy by the Medical school, please clarify if your selection process was different for these three years).
4) The lowest UCAT score of an overseas applicant that was given an offer
5) The number of overseas applicants interviewed
6)The number of overseas applicants given an offer
7) Just to confirm, if I offer IGCSEs instead of GCSEs, the method of scoring would remain the same right?
Yours faithfully,
Karnika Senthilkumar
