Consideration of International GCSE in the application for BMBS Medicine & how the MMI interviews will be conducted

The request was partially successful.

Dear University of Exeter,

1. How are International students ranked in the process of short-listing applicants for the MMIs? Is this solely based off the UCAT score and if so, can you provide the average UCAT score achieved by International students who were 'short-listed' for interview?

2. Is the International GCSEs (IGCSE) accepted and used when shortlisting International applicants? Is there a point-scoring system based on how well one does at IGCSE?

3. How will international candidates be interviewed in light of the current pandemic? Can you confirm whether the MMIs will take place on campus, or will they go 'virtual'?

Yours faithfully,
