How this university scores applications, with the figures it publishes.
High level summary
Simple summary. Excruciating detail below.
| Question | Answer |
|---|
| Is there a score to clear? | Yes, but it is set as a national decile rather than a raw score, so the number it works out to moves with the test each year. The decile is further down this page, and the UCAT deciles by year tab turns it into a score. |
| How to read the UCAT figures here | Only the lowest score is published. It belongs to one applicant, usually one who was strong somewhere else. Matching it is not the same as being competitive. |
| What else counts | GCSEs are a gate. Meeting the minimum is what counts; beating it earns nothing.
The personal statement is not used to shortlist.
The SJT band is a gate, and band 4 ends the application whatever else you have. |
| Note | The bar is set as a national decile rather than a raw score, so it moves with the test each year. Below the 4th decile is rejected outright, as is SJT band 4. |
