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!:

UKCAT Heaviest (good if you have a very high score 8/9 decile+)

Newcastle University

University of Glasgow

University of Exeter 

UKCAT is heavy but used with other factors (above average score 6/7 decile+)

University of Sheffield

University of Nottingham

Queen's University Belfast

University of St Andrews

University of Southampton

Hull York Medical School

University of Leicester

Barts and the London

UKCAT is still used but not as much as other factors (average score 5 decile+)

University of Aberdeen

University of Birmingham

University of Dundee

University of Edinburgh

King's College London

University of Manchester

University of Liverpool

St George's, University of London

Plymouth University  

UEA

  

Not UKCAT heavy (average and below average score)

University of Bristol

Cardiff University

Keele University

Another final piece of advice is to wait until the final UKCAT deciles have been released, there is no real need to apply before 15th October and your score may change deciles between the prelim and final results, especially if you have a borderline score.
