alright guys heres the issue, im going to be 21 soon and this is the 3rd year i have applied for dentistry and have been rejected by all my universities, I applied to leeds, birmingham, manchester, essex and sheffield and got rejected by all of them. My grades are below:
GCSE:
Maths A
English A*
English Literature A
Science double award AA
History B
Design and technology 4 distinctions
A level:
Chemistry A
Biology A
A.S. Physics C
Sociology A
Science in society C (critical thinking a-level, you cant revise for it, lol)
I got pointers from dentistry students in writing my personal statement which secured me interviews with the universities but i still get rejected, in my interview's im calm, cool and collected, i joke with the interviewers and keep the tension to a minimum, when asked a question i take a few seconds to my self to gather my thoughts and then asnwer so i dont babble or say erm.
I have two years of work experience with in a dental practice and i know him very well as he is my dentist, i asked him about the issue and he said its that im too big and come across as butch ( ive been weightlifting since the age of 13 and have made terrific gains lol), which i agreed with as my tutor said the same thing when i was doing a-level, they both said that you need to have a soft nature in this job to comfort your patients and that if i was their dentist theyd be scared to get in the chair.
So do you think i shold pursue something else and give up on dentistry however the issue is that this is all i wanted to do as a career
