The "Am I Good Enough For Dentistry" Megathread

Was it hard?
What grade did you get?

Posted from TSR Mobile

Gcse's- 2A*'s, 2 A's, 2 B's and 2 C ' s (C is in english Lanuage)
A-levels - 3 A's predicted
I have about 3 years worth of work experience in a hospital, care home, charity work etc.
Do I have a chance of being accepted anywhere for dentistry?

Not gonna lie the C's will hinder your chances as they will restrict your options as most uni's ask for A's some ask for B's and hardly any ask for C's BUT I know for a fact you could apply to Leeds University for Dentistry through the Access to Leeds programme. You should look into it to see if your eligible. Also I'm sure there are some universities out there who only look at GCSE's to distinguish between 2 candidates that are similar and therefore doing better in the UKCAT would mean they would be less likely to look at your GCSE's. It's all about applying tactically and looking at your strengths and weaknesses and then applying to uni's which look more at your strengths and not much at your weaknesses.

I definitely think you have a chance and there will be at least 2-3 uni's out there where u have a chance, Leeds being one. Good luck!

Hi,

GCSE - 7As, 4Bs
AS - BBBB
A2 prediction - AAA
UKCAT - 632.5
Work experience - over 3 weeks
Dental course
Lots of extra curricular, charity work and volunteering.
Very strong personal statement


Do i have a chance for Newcastle(partners), Glasgow, Dundee and Liverpool?

GCSEs: 5A*s 4As 2Bs
A* - History, Eng.Lit, R.S, Business Studies, Maths
A - Bio, Chem, Physics, Eng.Lang
B - Spanish, Music
AS: Bio, Chem, Maths, Business Studies
Predicted A's for my AS-Levels (currently in yr 12) and I'm also doing the EPQ over summer
Have work experience
So obviously Birmingham is not an option for me but do my stats seem competitive for dentistry at all? I'm aware that it does depend on the UKCAT/BMAT scored too but are my GCSE's 'good enough'?
I'm just worried that I have no hope with my GCSE's considered the limited number of places there are available for dentistry and the sheer number of applicants for the course generally with higher stats than mine
Any help would be appreciated, tysm in advance

At GCSE I got 9A* 2A
I do biology chemistry maths geography at AS but I'm dropping geography at the end of the year. I'm predicted AAAA but I don't know if I'm going to get them because I'm finding them all really difficult.
I don't have work experience yet but I'm booked in for 2 weeks in summer.
My main extra curricular activities is volunteering at Rainbows/Brownies/Guides and was on Police and Crime youth commission

I don't know if I'm good enough because I'm really worried about my AS exams, what do you think?

Hey guys

I've been looking around for stuff I can do before applying to uni and a course called Dent-gate keeps coming up in Birmingham. I've heard the London one was good, anyone had any experiences? Everyone seems to have done more than just work experience It's on dent-gate.co.uk.

Thanks

No need at all
