Dundee Medicine: the admissions numbers

For 2026 entry, on the current test, the lowest rest-of-UK applicant interviewed had 1,610 and the average 1,963; 153 of 398 rest-of-UK applicants were interviewed against 829 of 918 Scottish ones.

For 2025 entry 51.6% of the GCSE grades held by non-contextual rest-of-UK interviewees were 9s and 29.9% 8s, and they were predicted 2.7 A*s on average. In 2026 the numeric-grade shares are lower because 39.3% of the declared GCSEs were lettered (A* to C), which Dundee lists in the same table. With academics at 60%, an interviewed rest-of-UK applicant is typically mostly 8s and 9s with two or more predicted A*s.
