What All UK Medical School Applications Have in Common

With very few exceptions, all UK medical schools now require the UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test), taken in summer of the year you apply. A-Level requirements are typically A*AA or AAA with Chemistry required at virtually every school. Most also require evidence of relevant work experience and a strong personal statement.

Understanding the specific requirements at your target schools allows you to build a realistic list, avoid costly mistakes, and prepare in a way that is genuinely targeted — rather than generic.
