Dear Sharlene,

 

I refer to your email of 18 January 2021, which requests “information
regarding GPA, UCAT, and Interview Graduate entry scores for medicine
between the years of 2017-2020”, and – if possible – the same information
for successful MAPAS graduate applicants. Unfortunately your email does
not specify what information about GPA, UCAT and Interview Graduate entry
scores you wish to request. A request under the Official Information Act
1982 needs to specify the official information requested with due
particularity. We have, however, provided some information below about
Graduate MBChB applicants and MAPAS MBChB applicants which was released in
response to previous official information requests. As you can see, this
information is already publicly available on the fyi site.

best possible grade for MEDSCI 142 (A+). Interview GPA cut-offs for
Graduate applicants differ for those who have all their grades at the time
of interview shortlisting, and those who have yet to complete their
programmes of study. The statistics provided are above are for those who
had all their grades at the time of interview shortlisting.
