I got an offer from manchester yesterday (by email then track). i've imagined a million times how i would post on TSR if i ever got an offer but i was just so happy and speachless yesterday that i just didnt post.

i had 4 rejections last year and 3 this year.manchester was my last chance for dentistry (in the UK atleast) and i got it. GUYS NEVER LOSE HOPE! Even if you dont get it (i know ur probably thinking its easy for me to say) things will work out the best way for YOU.
Anyone waiting on a letter from Leeds as to why they got rejected, don't get your hopes up that it'll give you any help. Mine gave me about 20 reasons why I was a great candidate and then just said they interviewed fewer people than ever this year. I was hoping for something constructive but nah, didn't happen.
Offer from Glasgow! Which now leaves me with the best kind of problem- where to choose... Glasgow 5yrs or Kings 4yrs???
Anybody got any opinions on either? I'm currently living in the South, so going to Scotland would be a nice change, and I see that they have an elective part of the course where you can go abroad.
But on the other hand Kings is a year shorter, and might be considered more illustrious?
My head hurts....... any thoughts appreciated!

Congratulations on getting in! I'm in year 12 right now and I'm going to be applying for dentistry, do you know why you were rejected? I know that sometimes they won't say but was it due to grades, work experience, or the fact that its really competitive?

u can say that again! its getting ridiculous. if after all of that its a rejection, they could have had the decency to let us know from the beginning instead of keep us waiting that long to find out at the end it was a rejection....

good luck though hopefully we've actually got offers from them!
Got an email from track!!! Dare not open it.....

Hey guys..may i know what are the pros and cons of kings?? tks you:smile:


okay pros: one of the top unis for dentistry, its in central london, largest dental school in uk, traditional style learning (if thats what you want :smile:) immense nightlife, and every shop and social scene you could ever dream of!!! massively international and a great place to build up contacts for use in your future career.

cons: could not be much more expensive. so larger debt at the end. and you have to get the tube like almost everywhere, and sometimes it gets so busy that have to travel half hanging out of the door :s-smilie:
hope this helps!! :smile:

omg :frown:
So sorry to hear that ! Did you apply to another country for dentistry? If not, you can apply somewhere else where there is dentistry.. if you are really passionate about it, you should just do it somewhere else. I pray that you get somewhere. Dont lose hope & be strong.

If you are deciding on to choosing another course, then i think you should go for optometry.. My mates loving it!.. try it out in clearing.. or waiit..what did you put as your 5th option ?

Don't worry, everything will get okay.. i really hope & pray that you succeed in whatever you do.
