UCAT Score Breakdown for Medicine

What is a Competitive UCAT Score for Medicine?

Above 3,000: A high score, often expected by the most competitive medical schools like University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, and Imperial College London.
2,800–3,000: A competitive score for many leading medical schools, including University College London (UCL) and King’s College London.
2,600–2,800: A solid score that puts you in a good position for many medical schools, but additional strengths (e.g., A-levels, work experience) will be important.
Below 2,600: This score is considered below average for most top medical schools, but there are still options available, especially if you excel in other areas of your application.
