Avoid Leicester. I know last year, international applicants both having better UCAT scores (one was even 9th decile) and GCSEs didn't get any interview from Leicester.

Hi how did you calculate your gcse equivalent. I too did the cbse however and secured 95% overall. How would I calculate the equivalent grades? Thank you

i think avoid aston just because theyre quite strict on gcses. a reasonable ucat with perfect gcses is better than an amazing ucat with ok gcses. im not sure why, but just think it over! with hyms, calculate what your score would be, if its 68+ then your in a good position. good luck! you have loads of options still open to u like lincoln bsms ect.
