Re: Request (Freedom of Information Act)
Date: Friday 6th September 2024

Dear Sir/Madam,

Greetings..!

I hope this email finds you well. I am a parent of prospective student planning to apply for medical school this year. It would be greatly appreciated if under the Freedom of Information Act, you could please provide answers to the following questions for your 2024 and 2023 intake of students to your medical undergraduate programme. The most important answers to me are the UKCAT ones, but if you can kindly provide as much information as possible, it would be extremely helpful.

UKCAT

• What was your UCAT cut off scores for both WP/Contextual and non-WP/non-contextual? (or if no set cut-off, what was the lowest score an interview was offered for?)
• What was your average UCAT scores for both WP/Contextual and non-WP/non-contextual?
• What was your highest and lowest score for UCAT that received an offer for both WP/Contextual and non-WP/non-contextual?

Grades
• What was the average profile of a successful student for their GCSE results?
• For successful candidates, what were their predicated A level grades?
• Achieved A level results- how many students were offered places based on Achieved A level results (i.e. those on gap years)?
• Deferred entries- how many deferred entries were made?
• AS results- what was the average successful AS profile ?

Admission statistics for students
• How many applications did you receive each year for the course?
• How many interviews did you offer each year for the course?
• How many offers did you give to local students?
• How many offers did you give to International students?

Many thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best Regards,
Krithika
