Medicine course admissions data
To whom it may concern,
I am a prospective student for your university, and I am writing to request data regarding admissions to your medicine course for the most recent admissions cycle (2024 entry) and the prior year (2023 entry).
I would like to know:
Admissions test scores (UCAT/BMAT)
• For international fee status students that were offered an interview, what was the mean score, the standard deviation of the scores, and the lowest and highest score
• For international fee status students that were offered a place, what was the mean score, the standard deviation of the scores, and the lowest and highest score
• For home fee status students that were offered an interview, what was the mean score, the standard deviation of the scores, and the lowest and highest score
• For home fee status students that were offered a place, what was the mean score, the standard deviation of the scores, and the lowest and highest score
• Did you have an official UCAT cut off score, if so what is this for international students and what is it for home students?
• How is your cut off score selected? Is it linked to the official UCAT deciles data released for each cycle or is it an internal decision by your admissions team and the applications that year?
Ranking candidates and interviews
• How many interviews were held? And what was the split between the number for international students vs home fees student?
• What elements of an application do you use to form your scoring system/calculation used to rank students for interviews and for places?
• What was the cut off “score” for this in terms of students invited to interview?
Exam Grades
• For GCSE grades, do you have a cut off for the number of 7s, 8s and 9s offered an interview/place?
• For A level grades, do you have a cut off for the number of As and A*s in predicted grades offered an interview/place?
Thank you for your time regarding this request,
Best,
Safiya
