Why. Your UCAT sits above their published cut-off for last cycle, and your GCSE profile clears their threshold comfortably.

Ruled out. Two schools you named weight GCSEs far more heavily, so your score would be spent poorly there.

Illustrative example. Your shortlist names real schools chosen for your profile.

What this is not

It is not an application service, a prediction, or a guarantee of an offer. It is a considered, human-reviewed opinion based on published admissions criteria, which you should always verify with the universities themselves.

Questions

Will you tell me I can't get in?
We'll tell you where you're competitive and where you aren't, plainly. That's the point of the service.
Is it automated?
No. A person reviews every submission against published criteria before anything is sent to you.
Can I ask follow-up questions?
Yes, or book 1:1 support if you'd rather talk it through properly.
