Ever since I burnt holes in my pyjamas after experimenting with a chemistry set on my eighth birthday, I have had a passion for science.
This exact phrase was used by 230 students applying for places at Oxbridge medical schools.
It’s getting harder to stand out from the crowd. Even with top grade A-Levels and the most inventive UCAS form (albeit not one containing comments about pyjamas), universities are starting to require more information about prospective students.
They need more information because for many popular courses there has been a staggering rise in applications. For example over the last 5 years the number of students applying to study medicine has increased by 88%. And for medicine and dentistry this means that the ratio of applications to acceptances is now approaching 10:1.
Other courses such as veterinary science, law, and Oxbridge history and modern languages are also highly competitive.
Admissions tests
Tests like the UKCAT, BMAT and LNAT, plus the various Oxford & Cambridge tests, have been introduced to provide additional high quality information that can be used to make more balanced selection decisions.
