Scoring and ranking during admissions
Candidates are given scores and ranks at two stages in the application process: at the shortlisting stage and after the interviews at the first college. Scores in admissions tests, GCSEs, written work, and interview are combined to provide a framework for assessing candidates, but tutors also take into account the individual circumstances and potential abilities of each candidate.
Contextualised GCSE 9/8/A* score (cGCSE)
The contextualised GCSE score provides information about how well and applicant has performed at GCSE compared to other applicants, given the performance of the school at which they took their GCSEs. It can be useful for identifying applicants from low performing schools who have achieved fewer top grades than other applicants, but more than would be expected for an average applicant from that school. Candidates without a cGCSE score will be included in the ranking using the information available.
The ranking calculations for each course are given below.
