A100 pre-interview cut-off scores

The request was successful.

Dear University of Leicester,

I am making a request regarding the A100 medicine course during the last (2013) UCAS cycle.

1) What was the combined academic + UKCAT score cut-offs (out of 60) for interview selection?
2) Which scores out of 60 also had their personal statement scored for interview selection?
3) Also, did these cut-off scores differ for those with a contextual flags? And how did they differ?

Yours faithfully,

Miss Grafton

Information Assurance Services,

Dear Miss Grafton,

I write on behalf of the University of Leicester in response to your request, dated 28th August 2013, made under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Our response is as follows.

1) What was the combined academic + UKCAT score cut-offs (out of 60) for interview selection?

A score of at least 57 and above was required to guarantee an interview for 2013 entry applications. A small number of candidates scoring 56 were invited for interview on the basis of a further assessment of their application forms.

2) Which scores out of 60 also had their personal statement scored for interview selection?

See above (56).

3) Also, did these cut-off scores differ for those with a contextual flags? And how did they differ?

No, but bonus points may have been added (dependant on Admissions Tutor discretion) which may have boosted their total score.
