Dear Sarlize Cha,

 

 

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information request dated 3^rd
October 2023.

 

 

For ease of reference, I have reproduced your questions below and set out
our corresponding responses.

 

I would be grateful to you if you could disclose the scoring criteria for
the Dental Surgery A200 course for the entries 2023 and 2024.

Scoring Criteria for 2023 and 2024

GCSEs (min 7 subjects) - max 28 points available

SJT - max 4 points available

UCAT - max 5 points available

Achieved A-levels - max 1 point available. Predicted A-levels are not
scored nor looked at. 

Some applicants, for example contextual applicants, are given additional
consideration in the scoring process.

 

What was the overall cutoff for inviting applicants to interview for the
entry 2023?

The overall cut off for 2023 MMI invitations was 35.  UCAT was used to
further distinguish between applicants.

 

Furthermore, I would like to ask if you score the degree grade for
graduates in addition to the GCSE scores.

No.
