Heyy i am at the start of year 12, i was wondering for generic tips for the UCAT for top marks and when to start revising. (Obviously predicted results are the most important at the moment) but i was just curious. And i would like to know from firsthand tips rather than google 😞😞🥺🥺

Anyway have a good day!

So Warwick needs 70 hours of work experience.

I HAVE this, but I didnt realise one of my work experiences is over 3 years ago.

I'm now around 5 hours short. I finished the BSMS virtual work experience yesterday but I don't know if they will reply in time with the certificate.

What do I do?

for context i applied Exeter Cardiff QMUL Anglia Ruskin (safety) for med and Kings Biomed engineering.

my UCAT is 2150 B3 and my gcses are 9999988877. i am predicted 3 A* in bio chem maths and have got an A* in my EPQ. I feel like none of my choices are that ambitious- i’ve always wanted to go to cambridge but i talked myself out of it when i got my UCAT score and now i regret it. I know this will pass, but it sucks knowing i turned down my dream uni for more “safe” choices that i had not even considered before.

I read on here that a university will reject you if it’s not mentioned in PS but I didn’t save the comment.

Which one is it ?

Idk if I’m the only one who experienced this. But I sent Hull York an email on Monday (I tried to call them, it said they all work remotely and they check the email inbox every day on the automated message). Not a single response!!! So I couldn’t apply. I emailed Newcastle, and they kept responding to me after a few days, with a new question, to clarify my circumstances. Took them 8 days to reply. Hull York is worse cause at least Newcastle replied. Shouldn’t they allocate a few more people to the admissions enquiries line and emails during these months when people are actually applying. Let’s see how long it takes Hull York to reply anyway. 😤😤

Edit: Let’s say Hull York is really backed up with emails, it doesn’t explain why most other universities can reply really promptly, when they likely get a similar, if not bigger amount of emails, especially the more ‘popular’ universities, and some receive calls on top of that. It’s not wrong to expect the same level of response time from all the universities. 1-2 days was the mean time from my own experience.

Aiming for at least 3 interviews 4 would be nice

Sheffield

Southamton

Exeter (81 points )

Aston (21 gcse points)

2240B2 ucat

Predicted 2A* and A

I retook this year and ended up with
9,9,7,6,6,6,5

The 5 is in econ, didn’t both retaking except. I’m thinking of retaking one more to get 3 9s but I’m not sure. I retook biology and physics which I got 9s in this year.

Wondering if this is closely competitive if I got a ucat score in the 2100-2200 range.

Thanks

What are everyone's stats? Where did everyone apply?

Idk why I’m seeing this out of nowhere now, but do some universities verify your work experience? Surely that would be too much of a hassle. I can obviously just send proof via the emails that I submitted and got responses to, however, if they ask me to forward the emails, they can read the entire thread and the med schools can see I wanted to apply to dentistry in the beginning, as it was in my initial email that I intended to apply for dentistry. I did work experience in a hospital and a dental practice. Isn’t that going to create a bad impression of me? I didn’t want them to know that, I wanted to make it seem like I was picking between the options and then picked medicine, after attending both work experiences. It’s 5am and I’m worrying about this. I’ve never heard of universities asking for proof.

Also what would they even ask them. Would they verify what I claim to have done during my work experience? Or would they verify I even attended?

I feel guilty. I lied about getting rejected from schools last year so ppl with a higher ucat than me wouldn’t applied. I’m sorry. Hopefully this makes you guys feel a bit better: ppl on this sub are lying and you never know.

any insight would be helpful

What are we thinking ?

Mine is 1950 with no guaranteed interview, I'm so worried if I'm gonna get an interview or not.

Hey guys what colleges did you apply to with what UCAT scores?!

and were you contextual?

anyone applying here? if so how many contextual points do u meet

Guys I should’ve applied to QMUL but it’s too late now I really just missed out on a 78% post int rate. Like it wasn’t even that big of a risk what was I thinking.

Now that UCAS is done I feel so sick and I’m getting some serious PTSD to last year of checking ur emails every free and getting that rejection when you weren’t expecting it and not telling anyone and it’s winter and cold and you’ve got alevel mocks coming up and u feel chopped 😭😭😭😭😭 omg I should’ve done QMUL guys cut off last year was 2210 which I’m guessing was 89th percentile and this I year I got 89th percentile so…. Just fml

There’s no way to change it right? Ughhhhh tell me that it’s okay I would’ve have gotten in anyways 2230 b2 for dent A*AA achieved PLEASE and I know my mum wanted me to apply there and I said no too risky girl bye

I already submitted it. The ps I wrote was written by me and my teacher helped to edit things (which she did in front of me no ai) to make it flow better. However I put it into an ai detector and it showed up as 100% ai. I did use ai to help finish a sentence since I was in a mental block and tired from editing, which I ended up rewording and restructuring. I used basically the same ps I did as last year (resit app) but it wasn’t flagged by ucas as ai, so should I be worried?

Thoughts? Any other aspiring grad dentists out there whatever ur stats like?

If i submitted my application at 6:02pm is it considered late? Pls helpppppp

How yall feeling about your choices
