The UCAT scoreyou need for every UK dental school.
TrueScore is our data-backed prediction of the minimum UCAT that earns an interview invitation at every UK dental school — updated after every entry cycle.
Ranked #1
Ranked #2
Ranked #3One prediction, built from real cut-off data
For each school we collect 3–6 cycles of Freedom-of-Information cut-off data, model the year-on-year trend with a small upward bias for growing applicant pools, and cross-check the result against the school's published admissions policy.
- 1Real cut-off data — Freedom-of-Information requests to every school's admissions office, every cycle
- 2Trend modelling — multi-year drift plus applicant-pool growth, cross-checked against each school's published policy
- 3Your answer — a predicted interview floor with a confidence rating for every school and fee tier
How much to trust each prediction
Schools with stable multi-year cut-offs (variance ≤ 100 UCAT points across 4+ cycles), clear published methodology, and FOI data through to the most recent cycle.
Schools with directional trend but year-on-year variance > 100 points, or methodology recently revised (e.g. introduction of contextual quotas).
Schools with limited FOI data, recently-introduced courses, or known methodology overhauls in the prediction year. Treat as a starting point only.
Sourced from FOI requests, school-published admissions reports, UCAT Consortium decile data, Medical Schools Council guidance, and conversations with admissions tutors and current students at each school.
Dental predictions debut this cycle
Dental TrueScore launches for the 2027 entry cycle, so there is no year-on-year dental accuracy log yet — we will publish one as cycles complete, the same way we do for medicine.
of 16 dental schools have a stable multi-year FOI history strong enough for a high-confidence prediction.
Every dental prediction is built from multi-year Freedom-of-Information cut-off data plus each school's published selection methodology.
Each prediction carries a confidence rating — weight it accordingly and always cross-check the school's official guidance.
