UKCAT 750 - Where to apply? Thanks!
Hi Guys,
I took my UKCAT today. I scored 750.
VR - 690
QR - 720
AR - 800
DA - 790
Band 1
I have worked for the NHS in a psychiatric hospital for nearly 5 years now. 2 years as a clinical support worker and 2+ as an activity coordinator. I have been trained and am competent in phlebotomy. I used to respond regularly to psychiatric (and occasionally medical) emergencies, being a designated 'bleep holder' on my ward.
More recently i have accepted a post as an assistant Psychologist in a specialist ageing in mental health (SAMH) memory service.
I hold a 1st class degree in psychology (2013).
Presently, in order of preference I plan to apply to:
King's
Warwick
Newcastle
Leicester.
My main concern is, my lack of experience in non-psychiatric healthcare settings. I plan to obtain some shadowing experience, however this is unlikely to take place before the UCAS deadline and will not be on my PS.
Do I have a good chance of being interviewed and offered a place at the above uni's? Particularly King's and Warwick.
Thank you.
Chris
