2026 and 2027 entry34 schoolsUpdated when the final deciles land

Your UCAT, against every line actually published.

Two decisions, not one: the cognitive total sets which schools are reachable, and the Situational Judgement band rules schools out or costs you points. Switch between them below. For a verdict that weighs both against your grades, GCSEs and contextual indicators, use the school finder.

Published minimums for 2027 entry

3 schools

Published in advance: below it the application is not considered. Clearing it is the start, not the end. Only three schools publish one on the current scale; everywhere else the line appears after the cycle.

SchoolRest-of-UK applicantBy groupWhat the figure is
Edinburgh1,850All applicants 1,850Published minimum — Above it applicants are ranked into deciles and scored, so 2,100+ is the practical target. SJT Band 4 is rejected.
Sheffield1,800All applicants 1,800Published minimum — Access to Sheffield and recognised pathway applicants are interviewed from this floor; everyone else is ranked, and the 2026 ranking stopped at 2,120.
Keele1,700Home 1,700 · International 1,950Published minimum — Above the floor the total only sets your quintile, worth 5 of the 25 shortlisting points; the personal statement is worth 15.

Where the line fell for 2026 entry

14 figures

Where the ranking stopped in that cycle. Set after applications closed, so it moves with the next cohort. Rows marked “lowest score invited” are not thresholds at all: they are the lowest total that actually reached an interview, so someone was simply the last one in.

SchoolRest-of-UK applicantBy groupWhat the figure is
Imperial2,320Home 2,320 · Contextual 2,170Where the line fell — Up from 2,260 the cycle before, so a score within 30 to 50 of it is not safe if it rises again.
Bristol2,240Home 2,240 · Overseas 2,270Where the line fell — Shortlisting is UCAT alone, so 2,280 or more is the safer target.
UCL2,190Home 2,190 · Access UCL 2,080Where the line fell — The SJT band separates tied scores.
Sheffield2,120Home ranking cutpoint 2,120 · Overseas 2,070Where the line fell — Everyone must also clear the 1,800 floor below; pathway applicants are interviewed from it.
Manchester2,060Home 2,060 · WP+ (widening participation) 1,960 · Overseas 2,250Where the line fell — Aim above 2,100 to be safe. SJT Bands 3 and 4 are both rejected.
Anglia Ruskin2,010Main cut-off 2,010 · East of England 1,960 · Essex, or widening access (WAMS) 1,920 · East of England and WAMS 1,870 · Essex and WAMS 1,830Where the line fell — The lower figures are raw scores that are uplifted before ranking, so they all land near 2,010.
Glasgow1,990Rest of UK 1,990 · Scottish 1,870 · International and EU 2,150Where the line fell
Brighton and Sussex (BSMS)1,990Home, non-contextual 1,990 · Home, contextual all invited · International 1,990Where the line fell — At 1,990 the SJT band was the tie-break (Band 1). A Band 4 is rejected from 2027 entry.
Liverpool1,960Home 1,960 · International 2,080Where the line fell
Lancaster1,920UK, non-contextual 1,920 · UK, contextual 1,870 · Overseas 1,900Where the line fell — A borderline pool up to 10 below was also interviewed, in order of academic performance.
Leeds1,900UK 1,900 · UK, widening participation 1,810 · International 2,020Lowest score invited — There is no pre-set cut-off: academics and UCAT are combined, and Leeds refuses to publish the point values.
St George's, University of London1,880Home 1,880 · Overseas 1,640Where the line fell — At least 500 in each section is required as well as the total.
Aberdeen1,720Rest of UK 1,720 · Scottish 1,700 · International 1,730Lowest score invited — The average rest-of-UK interviewee had 1,990.
St Andrews1,640Rest of UK 1,640 · Home funded and Scottish 1,500 · Overseas 1,710Lowest score invited — Widening-participation applicants get a 10% uplift before the ranking, so the raw score behind a figure can be lower.

Preliminary 2026 UCAT deciles

Boundaries published to 13 September 2026, part-way through the testing window. Not final. They shift as more candidates sit the test, so a decile read from this table can change; the schools that award points by decile use the final figures, and this page is updated when those are published.

Where can you apply with your score?

One page per band. A band is as wide as the data allows: where consecutive totals give exactly the same answer at all 34 schools they are a single band, which is why the top of the scale is one page and the middle moves in smaller steps. Everything below 1,640, the lowest line any school publishes, is a single band that also sets out the alternatives to Medicine. Each page reads the score at the bottom of its band, says where a school’s line falls inside it, and for the 14 schools that publish no line at all, reads the band against whatever they did release.

Compiled 17 September 2026 from the universities’ published statistics and Freedom of Information responses. Each school’s own page carries its sources and the date its figures were last confirmed. Check the school’s admissions page before you apply; it wins if anything here differs. Spotted something missing or out of date? Tell me.
