Dentistry 2011 - Who's applying?

I am thinking of doing it, but I am still unsure. I am just going to apply for work experience - so hard to get and see if I enjoy it or not :smile:

If you are worried then make sure you familiarise yourself with the format of the exam and practise to gain speed. The best resource for that is probably the 600Q book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/into-Medical-School-comprehensive-explanations/dp/1905812094/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1270939420&sr=8-1
Everyone swears by it.

Hey I applied this year deffered to 2011 so if anyone ends up at Newcastle *hello*

I also had interviews at Liverpool and Sheffield.

Just to say something I got a book for the UKCAT and found it really helpful would never have gotten the score I got without it http://www.amazon.co.uk/Succeeding-Clinical-Aptitude-Medical-School/dp/095567462X/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271371796&sr=8-9 any book you get will help you get practise in. Really useful I took mine on holiday the week before my ukcat and read up on it and it just puts your mind at ease as you know what to do so you aren't stuck in a room panicing that you read the instructions wrong :smile:

PM me for any help or anything you want

I'm applying :smile:

Yeah. Glasgow!

I am applying too!

Question - just sorting out my UCAS application and I'm a little confused. Even though we are applying for 2011 entry, the only way of doing that is ticking the 'deferred entry' box, which makes your year of entry 2011.
Now I'm worried that they'll think I'm applying for the year after, even though it says 2011 entry, as it also says deferred entry!

Is this normal?!

I'm just generally confused by the UCAS thing as a whole?!
Do you pay, have you put up your personal statement, is it through school?
Don't they have a 'contact us' or 'FAQs' section where you can get in touch with them?

Hmmm. I think I'm not going to apply this year after all and wait until 2012 entry.

I'm just so tired at the end of uni that I can't quite face going straight back!

I'm not sure this is a good plan, but it's happening...

Yeh, but you can't send the form off until September. And it only takes 20 minutes to fill out the form. No harm in filling it in early though, especially if you've been waiting for aaaaaaaages, lol.
