Hello,
I know this is a difficult question as each university has its own way of using UCAT results. Even when they actually say there is a firm cut-off, they never say what that cut-off is as it changes each year according to the strength of the field. This I understand.
I am nonetheless going to ask as I have seen some very clued-up people comment on medical school admissions on this board.
I am advising a student for whom English is her third language. If she got 80 points under the average in the Verbal Reasoning would this be viewed a little more leniently than if English were her mother tongue?
Her Decision Making, Quantitative Reasoning and Abstract Reasoning are respectively just over, just under and comfortably inside the "average" bracket of 620-630.
After that, what worries me is her SJT which came out in Band 3. Will this "modest" result be offset by her strong Decision Making score do you think?
She is very ambitious and wants to aim for the more selective unis, two of which ask for BMAT (which she will sit soon). She does not want to consider applying tactically based on her test results but I am worried.
Her application is in all other respects very strong -- academics, extra-curricular and work experience (which was very complicated for her to obtain).
Thanks if you have any thoughts!
