Reading the score band These are the scores admitted students had — not a cut-off.

25th percentile

Average
1180
75th percentile
1270

A quarter of admitted students scored below 1060 and a quarter above 1270. Being under the lower figure does not rule you out — it means the rest of the application has to carry more weight — and being above the upper one does not secure a place at a selective university. This intake sits inside a student body of about 866.

Getting in is the first question, not the last

Admission data says nothing about what the degree costs or returns. Before accepting an offer, read the net price for your family's income and the earnings of previous graduates — a place at a selective university financed with heavy borrowing can be a worse outcome than a place at a less selective one that costs little.
