Entry Requirements: Acceptance is based on student’s academic results, UCAT results, and non-academic achievements, like work experience. UCAT: St George’s requires a minimum score of 500 in each individual section to be regarded as a possible application. Then, the students’ overall UCAT scores are ranked to determine interview applicants. In the past, the lowest UCAT score that was accepted into the interview sections ranged from 2490 – 2600. They do not look at students’ Situational Judgement scores. Work Experience: Students need to have experience working in a medical/health-related field AND a non-health care setting. This can be achieved through volunteering, work experience, gap year experience, caring for a sick relative or participating in Scouts, the Guides, Red Cross or similar organisations. Students need to demonstrate their understanding, knowledge, and insight gained through their experience. They also need to demonstrate communication skills, patience, accuracy, and teamwork. This section will be examined during the interviews. Application Process: - Students are required to achieve the minimum standards covered above
