Dear Elizabeth

 

Thank you for your Freedom of Information Act request; please find the
information requested below:

 

1. What typical A Level/Advanced Higher subjects were studied by students
invited to interview?  

 

This information has to be refused under Section 21 of the Freedom of
Information Act, which is to say that it’s already in the public domain.
Please refer to our published entry requirements for this course:
[1]https://www.brighton.ac.uk/courses/study... which
includes entry requirements.  Every applicant must have both Biology and
Chemistry. Whilst there is variety on the third subject taken, “typical”
is a subjective term and the request would need to be refined in order to
provide exactly what is required. 

 
2. What typical A Level/Advanced Higher predicated grades were invited to
interview?  

 

This information has to be refused under Section 21 of the Freedom of
Information Act, which is to say that it’s already in the public domain.

includes interview requirements. 

 
3. What was the applicant to interview ratio?  

 

3.6:1 

 
4. What were the highest and lowest UCAT scores of the candidates that

The Brighton and Sussex Medical School does not use UCAT. It uses the BMAT
and the highest / lowest scores for 2021 entry were 23.6 & 7.8 

 
5. What were the UCAT scores of applicants that were rejected before the
interview?  
 

The average BMAT score was 16.25
