How Worcester uses the UCAT

Three Counties is graduate-entry and accepts either the UCAT or the GAMSAT. There's no hard cut-off — selection depends on the shape of each year's applicant pool — but historically most shortlisted applicants have scored around 1870 or more on the UCAT (or 50+ on the GAMSAT). Treat that as a rough guide rather than a guaranteed line, and confirm the current figures on Worcester's page.

Is your score competitive here?

Worcester is only relevant if you're applying as a graduate, since it's a four-year accelerated course. If you are, a UCAT comfortably above that rough 1870 guide gives you a competitive footing — and because there's no hard cut-off, a strong overall application matters. Otherwise, this isn't a school-leaver route.
