Dear Qamar,

Thank you for your request for information made under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) 2000. I apologise for the delay in the provision of
this response.

We confirm that we hold information of the description specified in your
request; please see our response below.

Your request and our response

Medicine A100 Admissions Statistics for 2025/26 Entry

1.      How do you weigh the UCAT and GCSE scores when selecting
candidates for interview?

The 2024/25 admissions cycle will be the first year that UCL uses UCAT to
select candidates for interview. We therefore do not have any historical
data that we can share with applicants nor any means of knowing what the
range of scores might be for those applying to UCL, and will therefore not
be providing a “cut off” score for selection to interview and are not able
to guide applicants as to a score that might achieve an interview.

Applications are first reviewed to ensure candidates meet our minimum
academic entry requirements at GCSE and A Level, as outlined within our
prospectus
[1]https://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-studen...
There is no advantage to having more GCSEs or higher grades than our
minimum requirements. On receipt of UCAT scores in November, the total
UCAT score and SJT scores will be used to rank candidates and to invite to
interview.

Details of our selection procedure can be found on our website:
[2]https://www.ucl.ac.uk/medical-school/stu...

2.      Do you prioritise students with achieved grades (i.e. gap year
students) compared to school leavers, with predicted grades, when
selecting candidates for interview?

No.

3.      For individuals who are eligible for Access UCL, will their UCAT
scores (or their general application) be given an uplift during interview
selection?

We rank the UCAT scores for students who are eligible for Access UCL
separately to all others.
