Cambridge Medicine: the admissions numbers
Applications and offers by college for the 2026 cycle, six years of offer holders’ GCSE profiles by college and school type, and a full breakdown of the 2025 cycle, from the university’s own figures. Offer A*A*A, panel: two college interviews, subject-heavy.
Offers, contextual offers and resits
A-level offer, 2027 entry
A*A*A
Chemistry, plus one or two of Biology, Physics, Maths or Further Maths depending on the college; colleges usually want the A* in Chemistry
Contextual offer
Not stated
Cambridge's entry requirements do not give a lower contextual offer.
Resits
No policy published
Cambridge publishes no resit policy for Medicine on its own website. The Medical Schools Council quotes it as saying: “We would typically expect candidates to achieve the minimum offer level in a single sitting. However, where candidates have been adversely affected by circumstances outside of their control, we will consider on a case-by-case basis.”
From Cambridge’s own admissions pages for 2027 entry, checked 27 September 2026. Where a box says not stated, the school’s pages do not mention it.

The school states 75–85% are interviewed. It states about 21–24% of those interviewed get an offer. Cambridge publishes no interview counts; the share interviewed is our estimate, and the offer rate after interview follows from it.
Published UCAT line
None published
No fixed cutoff; only the cognitive score is used, read with your GCSEs. Our rough baseline: under 2,200 an interview is possible with 9 or more grade 9s; 2,200 is competitive with 8 or more, 2,250 with 7, 2,300 with 6 and 2,350 with 5. A guide, not a promise of an interview.

For each college and apply year: the mean number of GCSEs at grade 9, grade 8, grade 7 and 6 or below among Home offer holders, split by whether they came from an independent or a maintained (state) school. An apply year is the UCAS cycle; the 2025 apply year ran from September 2024 to August 2025.
Every college, one apply year

— The university withholds the average where a college had fewer than three offer holders from that school type in that year, because an average of one or two people would identify them. In 2025, maintained-school offer holders averaged between 6.00 and 9.36 grade 9s depending on college (24 colleges reported); independent-school offer holders between 5.00 and 10.71 (10 colleges reported).

The 2026 cycle: applications and offers by college
Applications made in autumn 2025 for entry in 2026. Direct applications named the college; open applications were allocated to it. Direct offers went to the college’s own applicants; winter-pool offers went to applicants another college had interviewed, placed through the January pool. How many took up their place is not in these figures yet. Colleges marked † admit mature students only.

The pool is why the college you name matters less than it looks. Murray Edwards made 10 of its 11 offers through it and Lucy Cavendish 8 of 11, while Gonville and Caius, the most applied-to college (172 applications), made all 25 of its offers to its own applicants. Do not pick a college on these figures.
The 2025 cycle in detail
Applications made in autumn 2024 for entry in 2025. Counts under three are printed as “<3” by the university; totals built from them are shown as a range. Colleges marked † admit mature students only (aged 21 and over), so their rows are a different population.
