How GCSE heavy are the univerisities?


In this post I have divided  all of the univerisities into categories depending on how GCSE heavy they are. Some universities may use GCSEs with other factors such as the UKCAT so they may not fit into the category suggested, for example, if you score incredibly highly in the UKCAT for Nottingham, there is more leeway for lower GCSE grades. Please with individual websites as this is a rough guide. Feel free to comment or contact me via email for advice.
8A* and above
Edinburgh
Oxford (who have the average applicant have 60% A*, so successful candidates have more than that)
Birmingham
Cardiff

Mostly A*’s 

Cambridge
Nottingham (paired with UKCAT)
Queens Belfast (paired with UKCAT)
St Andrews (8A’s or 6A*’s)
Leicester (paired with UKCAT)
Dundee
Exeter
UCL
Southampton
Glasgow
Newcastle
Manchester

Mostly A*’s and A’s

Liverpool (score A and A* the same)
St Georges
Keele
King’s (look at things holistically)
Lancaster
Barts and the London
Aberdeen
Sheffield
Plymouth
East Anglia
Hull
Leeds

Not GCSE heavy

Bristol
Imperial
Brighton and Sussex

    The more GCSE heavy an institute is, the more valuable that is to the students and the students visit http://www.letterofrecommendation.biz/our-services/landlord-letter-of-recommendation/ for that college to get admission and having tips from the experts about the criteria of admission here.

    That all depends upon the teaching methods that our teachers are using in our schools to teach our future leaders with the help of https://www.lorservice.com/pediatric-residency-letter-of-recommendation/ because what they are being taught today will be taught by them tomorrow.

    Properly designed fiber optic systems can easily be expanded as needed. A system for low data rates, for example T1 (I 544 Mb / s), can be upgraded to a higher data rate system, OC-12 (622 Mb / s), by change the electronics. The fiber-optic cable system will remain the same.

    The facts are bitter but still there is need to read more about such topics. Universities should take some initiatives to run in smoothly.

Requirements for British medical schools: The Ultimate Guide

In this table I have collated information on every medical school in the UK for undergraduate medicine. Please note that not all of this information will be correct depending on when you are reading it. The GCSE, A level, IB, UKCAT and BMAT requirements are listed. I have tried to condense this as much as possible as it is very long, as a result you may need to visit individual websites. This should help you with your immediate shortlist of universities. Most medical schools require Chemistry and biology and then one other subject. General studies and critical thinking are not accepted at any medical schools. Subject combinations such as biology and human biology are also not allowed. In my next post I will be writing about each university, giving a rough outline on what the requirements are and what statistics I would want to have if I was applying to each university.

Top 5 Tips for Interviews

1) Be confident, or at least pretend to be confident: Body language is equally as important as what you actually say. If you give a great answer but fidget the entire time or mumble, you won't score as highly as possible. Its easier said than done, but if you practice enough and familiarise yourself with the interview format you should feel more confident in what you are doing. 2) Read about the university: Its really important that you read about the university that you are interviewing at, even if its not your top choice. Read about general facts about the course, the area and the univerisity as well as focusing on a few things that you would be particularly interested about, for example, a sport club or a society you may want to join. 3) Keep up to date with the news: Its very possible that one of your questions may be on a current news topic, so you should keep up to date with the news and just have a general idea of what is going on, as well as knowing about new technologi

How UKCAT heavy are the Universities?

Following requests after my guide to show how GCSE heavy Universities are, I have done the same for the UKCAT. They are arranged in the same way, from most UKCAT heavy to least UKCAT heavy (of course BMAT schools are not included). Please note, I have used a holistic approach for this, Universities that have a large proportion of their weighting on the UKCAT have been listed as "heavier" even if they have had low cut-offs in the past, this is because from year-to-year the applicants may vary, if one year the cutoff is low, candidates with very good UKCAT scores may apply thinking its a safe choice therefore raising the cut-off. I have also put Univerisites with historically high cut-offs as "heavy" also. I have included in the heading what decile I would be in to apply to these universities, please note this is just a guide and what I would go by if I was applying again. I hope this makes sense, if you have any queries feel free to ask.  Anyway, onto the list
