How selection works

Phase 1: UCAT/academic screen excludes below-threshold scores and checks minimum academic requirements. Phase 2: shortlisting combines UCAT grade and personal-statement grade into a ranking grade (international: UCAT total score only), with UCAT verbal reasoning as a tiebreaker. Phase 3: interview; final offer decision based on interview performance alone.
