BSMS used the BMAT, not the UCAT, up to and including 2024 entry | No band excluded. The lowest band actually interviewed was band 4 for 2025 entry and band 3 for 2026 entry.

| Exeter | England | BMBS Medicine (A100) | Grade B (6) in English Language only. Exeter confirmed under FOI that GCSEs are not otherwise considered at the initial application review stage | A*AA including grade A in Biology and Chemistry. Contextual offer AAB including A in Biology and Chemistry | Advanced Highers AAA including grade A in Biology and Chemistry; Highers AAAAA including grade A in Biology and Chemistry | 38 points with 766 at HL, including HL6 in Biology and Chemistry | No raw UCAT threshold. Exeter converts the UCAT to a national decile, combines it with predicted or achieved A level grades in a single Exeter Score, and applies the cut-off to that combined score. The cut-off falls where roughly 800 home interview places run out | Reported by decile, not by score. 2025 entry, home applicants interviewed: 1.2 per cent came from decile 1 and 6.3 per cent from decile 4, so a low decile is not disqualifying if the grades are high (FOI26-0296) | Unknown as a score. Exeter reports by national decile only: for 2025 entry, 1.2 per cent of home applicants interviewed came from decile 1 and 6.3 per cent from decile 2 | Weighted 1 part UCAT to 3 parts academic attainment. The UCAT contributes only through its national decile: the Exeter Score falls by 4 points per decile but by 10 points per A level grade, so grades outweigh the UCAT by a wide margin. The SJT is not used at all. GAMSAT replaces the UCAT for applicants more than two years out from A levels | Not used at all. | GCSE English Language grade 6 | Multiple Mini Interviews.

Exeter supplied a single undated set of figures and did not report the two cycles separately | Exeter Score, published in full in the admissions policy. Predicted grades and no widening participation flag are scored out of 90; achieved grades add 10, a contextual flag adds 5, so the maximum is 105. A*A*A at decile 4 scores 60, the same as AAA at decile 9. GCSEs are not scored at all beyond a grade B in English. Personal statements and references are expressly not read. Interview is MMI, and the UCAT may be used again after interview to decide offers if too many candidates are judged suitable | Exeter - Medicine | Widening participation applicants eligible for a contextual offer receive a 5 point uplift to the Exeter Score and an offer of AAB including A in Biology and Chemistry rather than A*AA. No fixed number of places is reserved for the route | Yes - considered equally, no penalty stated | Applicants resitting are considered equally | Complete for entry September 2025. Exeter did not label the cycle and appears not to have supplied entry September 2026; its decile tables run 1 to 9 rather than 1 to 10 | Mean total cognitive UCAT, released under FOI26-0296, for a single undated cycle that the 3600 scale places at entry September 2025. Applicants interviewed: 2744.2 home, 2690.5 international, 2787.4 non-contextual, 2687.7 contextual. Applicants offered a place: 2748.9 home, 2722.4 international, 2800.9 non-contextual, 2692.8 contextual.
