This lesson covers universities where you typically need a UCAT cognitive score of approximately 2200 or above to be competitive. These are among the most selective medical schools in the UK for UCAT score requirements. A strong score is essential here — other elements of your application may count for less at the initial screening stage.
The following universities have historically set their UCAT thresholds at the higher end of the score distribution. Note that exact cut-offs vary annually.
| University | Typical Threshold Range | SJT Requirement | Interview Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Newcastle University | ~2200–2340 | Band 4 rejected | MMI |
| University of Manchester | ~2200–2320 | Band 4 rejected | MMI |
| University of St Andrews | ~2200–2350 | Band 4 rejected | Panel (at partner school) |
| University of Sunderland | ~2200–2310 | Band 4 rejected | MMI |
| University of Glasgow | ~2200–2340 | Band 4 rejected | MMI |
| University of Edinburgh | ~2200–2300 | Band 4 rejected | MMI |
