Official: University of Leeds A100 2024 Entry

big change to university of Leeds medicine entry requirements, they now require applicants to undertake the UCAT

however we dont know if they ill operate a cutoff or assign a banding system as they did for the BMAT

Do you already have an offer ?

I heard Leeds is one of UNIV that we cannot be sure how they score applicant, As they say they score using combination of GCSE and A level grades long with UCAT . Aslo they don't publish weighting and scoring process . So it depends how much the others score.

It’s just my GCSEs I’m worried about, I’ve got 9877777 but don’t know if they’re good enough

Be so for real right now😭 you got all A’s/A*s you know you did well. Don’t be one of those students🤨
Besides a uni would never consider your GCSE’s alone. There’s more to uni admissions than GCSE’s

Leeds have historically scored GCSEs as a large part of their shortlisting, needing 8 x 8/9s to stand a realistic chance of shortlisting, unless a top 20% BMAT.
Lots of med schools look at GCSEs as part of deciding who to interview and many need 8s or 9s across the board.
As said, some don't, and OP's stats would be fine for them, but historically, Leeds would not be one of them. OP is quite right that they are likely to need Leeds to move to a UCAT cut off or their GCSEs will probably not be enough

There is universities that doesn't look at GCSE after reaching the requirement , look at those .

Also wait until you sit UCAT, as you can deiced after what to do. good luck

Well I’m gonna apply to Leeds anyway and see what happens as I’m also a2l (not sure if it makes much of a difference). I doubt though Leeds will change their whole selection process? Wouldn’t they keep it the same but obviously just substitute the BMAT for the UCAT

Hi guys

I’m in my final year of my biological sciences study and I am going to be applying at leeds for medicine as an undergrad. Does anyone know how they might score it or how I can find out? I don’t want to waste it on somewhere I won’t get in to

This is Leeds first year using UCAT so we don’t really know. But historically Leeds use a point system where they score GCSEs and BMAT and maybe a levels. However usually if you don’t have all 9s and 8s you won’t get in unless you have a very high UCAT

I have a ucat of 2790 b1, 256 ucas tariff points and gcses with 4 9s, 4 8s and 2 7s. I’m also WP… do you think i have a good chance?

yes, go for it!

My UCAT is 2810 B1 and GCSE's are 98888776 L2M, WP and qualify for A2L which means grade requirement will be ABB if I complete the module after securing an offer. As of now i have ABB but a remark may make it AAB is this a decent chance? I barely have any other places I could realistically apply to as I'm going to resit maths anyway.

Hi Emily, much I would love to say a quick easy ‘yes, do apply’, truth is I’m not sure.
- when GCSEs aren’t almost all A* equivalent ( and yours are very good, but for Leeds there is a serious weighting on these grades as you know) the answer is I don’t know enough yet about A2L ( there is a frequent poster on this and other threads - username with the prefix B then numbers -who might know something about A2L)
really hope you get good advice 🍀
