How to read this

Offers after interview is offers divided by interviews in the latest cycle each school released, from 2024 entry on, for the group named under it. It is not your chance of a place: offers outnumber places, and the share moves from year to year. Imperial publishes no interview count, so it has no figure; Cambridge publishes none either, so its range is our estimate.
The personal statement and SJT columns come from each school’s admissions pages and FOI responses, the same records the finder and the SJT band tab on the UCAT page use.
