What is a good UCAT score?

The UCAT score/percentile required to get into medicine depends on various factors, including the university/course to which you are applying, whether you are a rural / widening participation applicant, your academic scores etc. It also differs depending on the country in which you reside:

NZ: UCAT is less important as an entry criterion in NZ, accounting for 15% at Auckland and a threshold requirement at Otago

Australia: In general, a UCAT percentile of 90+ would be sufficient for a non-rural, standard applicant. More information can be obtained her: https://www.medentry.edu.au/blog/what-is-a-good-ucat-anz-score

Remember that for various reasons, the scores and percentiles you get on the Online Platform cannot be directly converted to UCAT scores and percentiles.
