How to read MBBS JUPAS numbers

Admission median is the middle of the admitted cohort’s score index for that year — useful for ranking relative difficulty, not a cutoff published by JUPAS. Lower quartile (LQ) shows how low the lower half of admits went; a high median with a much lower LQ means a wider spread.

Competition ratio counts applicants per place and can move independently of scores (popularity spikes). Interview requirements matter for medicine: always open the programme page for the latest interview note and subject minima.
