Brunel Medicine: how it selects
Brunel ranks its Home applicants on the UCAT and interviews the highest until the interview places are filled. There is no set cut-off, and the competition is for what Brunel calls a limited number of UK-funded places; international applicants, who do not sit the UCAT, are chosen separately. Interviews are a recorded virtual MMI. It has released no admissions statistics, so this page sets out its rules. Offer AAA.
