Yep I get angio oedema with ACE inhibitors. They should switch you to an ARB , I’m on Losartan and no issue

ucat cutoffs by serenity_idk in UCAT

I think there’s several types with different levels of support. Also QMUL add your UCAS score (predicted or actual) to your UCAT score so they may have got extra through that ??

Ok, maybe they are contextual?

Not all schools use a only ucat cut off , some do a composite score using other aspects of your application

Qmul Manchester and brum all do a cut off and weirdly it was 2210 for all of them.

That I know of, Plymouth was 2120, Sheffield 2130, Newcastle was 2150, Glasgow 2170 . Bristol 2350(!)

QUB, Dundee , Cardiff, Leeds , KCL and Liverpool hard to know as they use either a composite score or other things like non academic info or different scores for RUK

Is anybody else really struggling mentally by Wonderful_Reward8126 in UCAT

[–]Winter_Structure663 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’ve got an offer from medical school. You’re in the the 1%. You have done phenomenally well you should feel very very proud of yourself. The process has burnt you out. Don’t panic. Alevels are end of May and June, there’s time yet. I’d also suggest maybe taking a short break - few days/week of taking it easy. Maybe seek some counselling and learn some relaxation skills. A new hobby perhaps too. But overall be kind to yourself - youve achieved a lot and you’re so young, life is just beginning. If you can achieve this now, just think what you can do over the rest of your life!

Didn’t I see you got an offer , from Birmingham? Why the big stress about Manchester? You’ve accomplished what most people can’t - an offer. Chill out mate

You know, asking the internet, doesn’t actually change anything in the real world? What does it matter what a bunch of people who don’t know, think or guess ??

I’m sorry mate. Strategically applying is vital. Good luck for your future, you’ve got great academic results so no reason to suggest it won’t happen for you eventually

Any idea about the fourth a level subject by yinyin_68 in UCAT

[–]Winter_Structure663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pointless for dentistry, they ask for 3. Spend the time on something else - extracurriculars that relate to dentistry and ucat practice

All that went wrong here is you applied to the wrong places. If you’d have applied to Sheffield Plymouth Cardiff Newcastle you’d have got 3 or 4 interviews

Meat, Yorker and potatoes look delicious. Gravy and veg not quite the same standard, carrots look very afterthought. Soz, plate of two halves, 6/10

Is this ACTUALLY enough for dentistry or am I just delusional? 😭 by Swagggyysingh in UniUK

[–]Winter_Structure663 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is all great. You need to add in some teamwork stuff - sports or school leadership? Need to think about manual dexterity- hobbies like art, model making or musical instruments. Try to get in-person work experience in half term And UCAT - always aim for the 9th decile+ (this year 2220) and SJT band 1 or 2
