Hey everyone.

I'm applying to Aberdeen for dentistry next year and wanting to know who else is going and keep up to date with how everyone else is getting on.

Introduce yourself and throw down you stats if you like.

"However, there will be special discounts to cap the total bill for the four-year courses at £27,000 - one year free for paying for three."

Looks like English, Welsh and Irish are going to have to dig deep now. Aberdeen making a move to increase fees. Would this put off anyone wanting to come up?

Interview on the 22nd

Is this your second Aberdeen application? If it is, do you think you are better prepared for it now? It would be nice to know how you felt this interview compared to other MMI interviews.

I am looking forward to this interview. I read that there are 60 interviews for 20 places though!

Hey Dent2012.
The interview isn't that bad. I doubt you'll get hints from anyone though as competition is stiff for Aberdeen cause it's so small. Enjoy it next week though!

I hear Aberdeen are now making the course 5 years. Nightmare. Will this affect peoples decisions?

Hey.
One of the people getting interviewed at the same time as me was told by the interviewer.
I am not completely convinced that it's the case but goodness knows.

[henleydental]

hmm im not convinced either. the admissions tutor at kings said there wont be any changes until the EU decision has been made which will be after we start in september. so no-one knows whats going on yet as far as he said. confusing hey...
