The five ways schools use UCAT

  • Ranked on UCATRanked on UCAT: 16 medical, 7 dentalAfter an academic check, interview places go to the highest UCAT scores until the places are filled. The line moves every year.
  • Published minimumPublished minimum: 8 medical, 1 dentalThe school publishes a floor for 2027 entry. Below it you are not considered; above it UCAT is still ranked or scored, so the floor is not the interview line.
  • Scored with academicsScored with academics: 11 medical, 4 dentalUCAT is converted to points or a percentage and added to academic or other scores. A lower UCAT can be offset, within limits, by the rest of the score.
  • Weighting not publishedWeighting not published: 15 medical, 6 dentalUCAT is required, but the school's page does not publish the weighting or a threshold. Ask the admissions team or read its policy document.
  • No UCATNo UCAT: 3 medical, 0 dentalThis course does not use UCAT. It uses GAMSAT, its own assessment or no test.

Reading a past line

  1. Check the year. A 2026-entry line came from 2025 test scores, the first year on the 2,700 scale.
  2. Check what kind of figure it is. An interview cut-off, a minimum and the lowest score interviewed mean different things.
  3. Check the applicant group. Home, international and contextual lines differ.
  4. Treat it as history. The 2027 line will be set after this year's applications arrive.

Questions students ask

How do universities use the UCAT?

In five broad ways. Some rank applicants on UCAT after an academic check, some publish a minimum and then rank or score, some add UCAT to academic points, some require it without publishing a weighting, and a few courses do not use it. The ledger shows which applies to each school.

Is a school's published minimum its interview cut-off?

No. A minimum is the floor for being considered. Schools that publish one still invite only as many applicants as they have interview places for, so the real line is usually higher.

Why are some past lines on a 3,600 scale?

Until 2024 UCAT had four scored subtests, including Abstract Reasoning, and totals ran to 3,600. From 2025 the total runs to 2,700. A past line on the old scale cannot be read directly against a 2026 score.

How current is this ledger?

Each row shows the day we read the school's page. Schools can change their pages during the cycle, so check the linked source before you rely on a line.

Sources

University admissions pages, the Medical Schools Council's 2027 course profiles and the UCAT Consortium. Where a page is silent, the ledger says “not published”, which is not the same as “no rule”.
