GAMSAT cut-offs and admissions data
| Year | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overall GAMSAT cut-off | 58 | 60 | 61 | 56 | 56 | 54 | 56 |
St George's publishes these overall scores, alongside its standard requirement of 50 in each section. It says thresholds cannot be predicted from previous years.
| Cycle | Places | Applicants | Interviews | Conditional offers | Waiting list |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026/7 | 80 | 615 | 197 | 74 | 40 |
| 2025/6 | 71 | 584 | 245 | 123 | 43 |
| 2024/5 | 70 | 635 | 245 | 89 | 39 |
Applicant and interview figures are for standard entry (deferred entry counted separately by the university). Between about a third and two fifths of applicants were interviewed in each of the last three cycles.
The two interview formats
In person at Tooting
| Structure | Six stations of about five minutes, with a 60-second break between them. Each station is assessed independently by a different interviewer. |
|---|---|
| Tasks | A question, a practical task or a scenario with an actor, for example managing a challenging situation. You have a written copy of the question or task. |
| On the day | Book your slot through the Applicant Portal and allow about three hours on campus, including a course presentation and Q&A. Bring a passport or UK driving licence. Phones and smart watches stay off and in your bag; no notes. |
| Before | Complete the Internal Disclosures Form. St George's cannot communicate a decision without it. |
Online through SAMMI-Select
| Structure | Six pre-recorded questions, each about five minutes including the time to read it aloud, with a 60-second break. Your recorded answers are scored independently by trained interviewers. |
|---|---|
| Set-up | A practice stage checks your connection, camera and microphone and can be repeated. Use a computer or laptop (not a tablet or phone), a supported browser (Chrome, Firefox, Opera or Edge), and at least 10 Mbps. |
| Timing | Allow up to an hour including checks and upload. The interview must be completed in one sitting. |
| Integrity | AI tools are strictly prohibited, and the software includes detection for AI use or abnormal activity. |
St George's says its MMIs assess communication, empathy, ethical reasoning, problem solving and motivation for medicine, and qualities such as integrity and respect. Because each station is marked separately, one weaker answer will not sink your overall score.

Dan's preparation advice for St George's
The following is independent coaching advice, not St George's rubric.
- Five minutes per station is short. Lead with your answer, give one concrete example from your work or degree, and close with what it taught you.
- Use your graduate experience. St George's wants applicants who understand the realities of healthcare. Draw on jobs, research or caring roles, not just observation.
- If you record online, rehearse on camera. A recorded answer gives no nods or follow-ups. Practise speaking to a lens to a timer.
- Check your GAMSAT dates. Only the last two years of sittings count here, unlike Australian schools.
Fees and funding
| Home students | The programme is open to home fee-paying students only. The government maximum tuition fee in England is £10,050 for 2027/28. Check City St George's course page and NHS funding guidance for graduate-entry medicine. |
