2) How is the UKCAT score used to rank applicants?

3) What is the weighting used for UKCAT score and predicted A-level grades in the ranking?

4) Is there a cut-off score for UKCAT? If so, what is the range of the cut-off score?

5) Are International (non-EU) applicants ranked against other International applicants, or are they ranked against all applicants both Home/EU and International?

6) How is the personal statement use in the selection process? Is there a score for personal statement?
