You’ve put in the work and completed your UCAT. Take a proper break, then turn your attention to the parts of your application where you can still make a difference. Your Medify subscription gives you access to all of the courses and tools below. 

Start preparing for interviews

Starting early gives you time to build your knowledge, practise answering aloud, and improve without rushing. Learn what to expect, work through realistic questions, and get personalised feedback with the Interviews course.

Choose universities with your score in mind

Your UCAT score is one part of your application, not the whole story. Universities use scores and other selection criteria differently, so understand UCAT scoring, then check the latest entry requirements and selection process on each university’s website.

If your score is lower than you hoped, you still have options. You can apply strategically, take the UCAT again in a later year, or, if you’re a graduate, explore courses that accept the GAMSAT. Requirements vary, so check each course carefully before preparing with Medify’s GAMSAT course.

Protect your academic results

Your UCAT score matters, but so do your ATAR, NCEA results, GPA, or equivalent. Return your focus to your school or university work and follow a realistic study plan that targets the areas where you can make the most progress.

Get your applications ready

Application routes and deadlines vary between universities and admission centres. Use Key Dates, make your own application plan, and check official university admissions pages regularly.

Depending on where you apply, you may also need to complete a personal statement, portfolio, or written questions. Start noting why you want to study medicine or dentistry, how your studies have prepared you, and what you’ve learned from your experiences. Focus on specific evidence and reflection, then check exactly what each university requires.

Make your experience count

Use the Experience Tracker to record what you did, what you learned, and how volunteering, paid work, caring responsibilities, and other activities shaped your understanding of healthcare and working with people.

Build the rest of your application

Completing the UCAT is an important milestone, but it is only one part of getting into medicine or dentistry. Give yourself time to recover, identify the next action that matters most, and use the work you’ve already done as the foundation for the next stage.
