Dear Meera,

Thank you for your request for information made under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) 2000. I apologise for the delay in the provision of
this response.

We confirm that we do not hold information of the description specified in
your request. Please see below for further details.

Your request

Please answer all the questions below as per the year 2024 for 2024-2025
entry. This is for the undergraduate medicine course, often called A100
(though potentially A10L or A106 or similar). Failing that, please answer
all the questions below as per the year 2023 for 2023-2024 entry.

(1) How do you shortlist for interview for international applicants – if
there is an algorithmic score then outline how this is calculated
(2) How do you shortlist for interview for home applicants – if there is
an algorithmic score then outline how this is calculated

(5) I understand that it is possible that there may not be a fixed
threshold - if so, please share the minimum, mean and median scores
shortlist scores to secure an interview at your institution for both home
and international fee status applicants.

Our response

This information is not held. 2024 will be the first year that UCL uses
UCAT to select candidates for interview. We therefore do not have any
historical data that we can share with enquirers nor any means of knowing
what the range of scores might be for those applying to UCL. We will
therefore not be providing a “cut off” score for selection to interview
and are not able to guide applicants as to a score that might achieve an
interview.

Applications are first reviewed to ensure candidates meet our minimum
academic entry requirements at GCSE and A Level, as outlined within our
prospectus
[1]https://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-studen...
On receipt of UCAT scores in November, the total UCAT score and SJT score
will be used to rank candidates and to invite to interview.

Details of our selection procedure can be found on our website:
