Did you know?
Hard truths about the medical school application process, from competition statistics to the score requirements
INTERNATIONAL ADMISSIONS
The UK government imposes a 7% cap on international student medical school places. That means only 7 in 100 students selected will be international, leading to an intense and cutthroat selection process.
SCORE REQUIREMENTS
The high academic standards required for admission, including exceptional grades and competitive entrance exam scores, often make it extremely challenging for international students to meet the rigorous criteria set by UK medical schools.
any BACKup?
The fierce competition for limited international student medical school places in the UK can result in rejection for the majority of applicants, leaving many aspiring students disappointed and uncertain about their future prospects.
