Aberdeen Medicine: the admissions numbers
Four years of applications, interviews, offers and entrants by fee status, with the lowest and average UCAT of those interviewed. Aberdeen scores academics (30%) and the UCAT (20%), invites the highest scorers, then adds the interview (50%). For 2026 entry the lowest rest-of-UK UCAT interviewed was 1,720 and the average 1,990; 164 of 222 rest-of-UK applicants were interviewed and 133 got an offer. Offer AAA, MMI, about 7 stations.
Offers, contextual offers and resits
A-level offer, 2027 entry
AAA
Chemistry, plus one of Biology, Maths or Physics, and one other subject, at the first sitting within two years
Contextual offer
AAB
Chemistry plus one of Biology, Physics or Maths.
Resits
Only with extenuating circumstances
Aberdeen does not normally consider applicants resitting to upgrade their results, unless they experienced very serious personal difficulties at the first sitting that were declared to the exam board at the time. These are considered case by case.

Where the UCAT line sits
On the current scale out of 2,700, against the final 2026 decile boundaries. Hover or tab to a band for its figures.

| Confirmed line and above | 1,720 | 2,700 | 20th to 30th percentile |
Lines are set after applications close, so this is where the ranking stopped last cycle, not a promise about the next one.

The weighting
Applications, interviews, offers and entrants, 2023 to 2026 entry
By fee status: all applicants in the group, then school leavers. UCAT columns are on the scale of that year (marked). “Offer average” is the mean UCAT of those made an offer, given for 2026 only.

Aberdeen interviews most Scottish applicants (88% in 2026) and makes offers to about three-quarters of them, but the rest of the UK competes for a small allocation: 74% interviewed and 45 entrants from 222 applications in 2026. The 2026 lines were low (1,720 for the rest of the UK) because the UCAT is only 20% of the score; the average rest-of-UK interviewee had 1,990 and the average offer holder 2,000. Contextual applicants were interviewed from about 40 to 90 old-scale points below non-contextual ones in 2025.
