Enter your UCAT cognitive total (900–2700) and filter by region, entry route and how each medical school actually uses the UCAT. Every published figure is labelled with its entry cycle.
Your total is only compared against figures a university has actually published, and each comparison is labelled with the cycle it came from.
Admissions policies and UCAT thresholds change every cycle. Figures shown here are only those a university has published, labelled with their entry cycle — always confirm on each university's official admissions page before applying.
