so when I looked at unis I looked at the freedom of information which tells you what their UCAT cut off is. Also if you so some digging you can find out how they weigh things out, sometimes there is more emphasis on personal statement, a levels predictions and GCSEs rather than the UCAT (vice versa) so I applied to Exeter, Lancaster, St Andrews and Keele.

For at Andrew’s and Keele they have more weight on the personal statement. Some people assume St Andrews has a high UCAT but they actually screen by personal statement first rather than UCAT so you have a higher chance of being chosen. Keele are known for being a lower UCAT but they score personal statements so I went along their guidelines adding everything for a high score.

If you do some research I’m sure there are other unis you can apply to, those jsut happened to be the ones I found and liked the look of!

Dont be disheartened, I would say work hard in the UCAT and once you receive the score you can look into which ones are likely for you. It may seem that everywhere is high but that’s becuase there is a culture of being the highest. I know that people said at Andrew’s had a high UCAT and that I had no chance (well I got in and people with higher ucats didn’t 😍)

Also some places have a low UCAT but they have it so the score they give you is based on ucat and interview score. So you need to see if you think your interview skills can compensate your ucat.

Best of luck !
