A100 BMBS Medicine Enquiry
Dear University of Exeter,
I am requesting information on the following questions:
1. What was the lowest UCAT score the University issued an interview to in the 2020 and/or 2021 entry?
2. Were there any UCAT score exceptions (a lower score than what is usually needed, for example) to contextual-eligible students for the 2020 and 2021 entries (those educated in a low-income/low access to HE area, etc), respectively?
3. If so, are these arrangements expected to be in place for the 2022 entry?
4. Relating to Q2, were contextual students guaranteed an interview/more likely to receive an interview once they meet/exceed a certain UCAT threshold in the 2020 and 2021 entries, respectively?
5. If so, are these arrangements expected to be in place for the 2022 entry?
6. How many applications for the A100 course were granted an interview for the 2020 and 2021 entries, respectively?
7. Continuing on from Q6, are these numbers expected to decrease for the 2022 entry?
8. How many interviewees were successful in gaining an offer in the 2020 and 2021 entries?
9. How many of those who were successful post-interview had accepted their offer to study at Exeter University for the 2020 and 2021 entries, respectively?
10. In total, how many applicants did Exeter University admit into its BMBS Medicine (A100) course in the respective 2020 and 2021 entries?
11. Continuing on from Q10, how many applicants who had confirmed their place to study the A100 course were asked to defer until the 2022 entry? (if any)
12. Does Exeter University expect the number of places for the A100 course to decrease in availability for the 2022 entry when compared to the 2020 and the 2021 entries?
Yours faithfully,
Aytekin Dogan
