Medicine in English in Italy: 2026 cut-off scores at five private universities, compared

Each row is one list. 'First round' is the score of the last place the call offered at the start; 'furthest' is where the list had got to by October 2026, as places were turned down and offered further down. Both are in the test's own units, with the share of its maximum beside them.

Read on their own scales, the first-round EU lines ran from 89% of the maximum at Cattolica to about 62% at Humanitas. The lists then went much further: the October readings are about 10 to 27 percentage points lower, because many of the first places were turned down by candidates who went elsewhere.

UniCamillus is the exception: it shows each EU candidate their own result and publishes no list, so its only public line is the eligibility minimum, 9 out of 90, and the falling number of places in its later calls.

All five universities rank non-EU candidates resident abroad on lists of their own, with their own places and, at UniCamillus, their own test. At Humanitas, San Raffaele and Campus Bio-Medico the non-EU first-round line sat above the EU one on the same test; at Cattolica it sat a little lower. At UniCamillus, whose non-EU test adds an oral and is scored out of 120, every ranked candidate was admitted in both rounds.

The five tests differ. Humanitas scores the HUMAT out of 960; Cattolica's test is out of 65; San Raffaele and Campus Bio-Medico each set 60 questions, but with different penalties for a wrong answer (−0.25 and −0.2) and different subjects; UniCamillus's EU test is out of 90, and its non-EU candidates sit a reasoning test and an oral out of 120. A share of the maximum puts the lines on one axis, but a point on one test is not a point on another.

For a like-for-like reading of your own chances, MedChance scores the same answers against each university's own list and penalty rule.

Every published list went far beyond its places. Humanitas's EU list, with 150 places, had reached its 354th entry by October; Cattolica's EU calls, for 40 places, had reached the 130th; San Raffaele's Definitive Ranking List, for 86 places, the 183rd; and Campus Bio-Medico's final ranking, for 84 places, its 147th, who had been 307th before the English-certificate deadline.

So the first-round line is the score that guaranteed a place at the start, and the furthest point is what was still enough by October. Neither is a promise for 2027.

Apply widely: the tests fall at different times of the year and several can be sat in the same year. A score below one university's first-round line was often still enough later, as each list moved, but the movement depends on how many candidates turn their places down, which changes every year.

Read each university's own rules before comparing: San Raffaele's EU candidates must declare they want a place, Campus Bio-Medico's must prove English with a listed certificate by a deadline, and UniCamillus's places run over several rounds.

This page restates nothing by hand: each row is computed from the data behind IvyTest's research page for that university, which reads the university's own lists in full. The first-round line is the score at the last place the call offered (for Humanitas, the bounds reconstructed from its list); the furthest point is the latest reading on each page. Shares are the score divided by the test's maximum, to one decimal.
