Hi there,

I've been waiting patiently for the acknowledgement email for a while since all the the other universities have sent them the day after my UCAS submission. I recently called to check they've received the application, and they informed me that they have as well as kindly stating that they will send a confirmation email very soon. I just received the email yesterday which I am glad about.

I've currently applied to the following dental uni's:
1) Kings College London
2) Manchester
3) Queen Mary
4) Queen Belfast

wbu?

In terms of (Gcse, AS, Predicted A2, UKCAT score)
I have 3A*s and 7 As at GCSE, not amazing I know as I know the majority of people applying to Queens have all A*s as they value them a lot. however the only reason I applied was because they receive hardly any applications in comparison to all other universities for dentistry. My total score is only 42 and the cutoff has previously been 28 and 32 so I am hopeful that it won't be any higher! My UKCAT is 1940 total and Band 1 SJ
My A2 predicted grades are A*A*A
you?

Thats really good ....Im not sure how you worked out the points to be 42....I think the max is 42 points (9A* = 36 points, 2200+ = 6 points), I've attatched the pdf for what they use (specifically the scoring system)... Please correct me if i've made any mistakes as I would like to know... thanks :smile:

Lol yeah sorry my score is only 34 it was a typo! And the cutoffs have been 32+28 in the past, so hopefully my score of 34 is enough! What are your stats?

Lool yhh thats kl, Im currently on a score of 36.... which I hope should be enough... I mean last years was 28... so im not expecting them to jump any more than 2 maby 3 points..... So I reckon getting 30-31 + is a safe zone.... I mean our year was quite hard in terms of GCSE and UKCAT so Im guessing not everyone did amazing...

That's true but a lot of the people I know applying have very high scores! Does everyone that's above the cutoff recieve an interview?

According to their selection process yes everyone above the cutoff score is invited to an interview. However their interview is going to be very challenging as they will have a lot of candidates and will need to differentiate between everyone.
Did anyone receive a criminal conviction letter??? I double checked UCAS and made sure I selected "no" for that option ... and all other uni's I applied to said nothing about this matter :s
