Re: Aberdeen Dental Applicants 2012If last year is anything to go by we should be receiving offers just over a week past the last interview. Hope that means this coming week. I am more and more remembering the mistakes I made in the interview and little of what went well.
Who'd have thought a month would take so long! -

Re: Aberdeen Dental Applicants 2012the lady in the admissions said that we should be receiving the decision letters latest on the 31st...so fingers crossed!! plus, i remember the mistake I made as well...it is a little bit frustrating, but at the end of the day I am pretty sure that not many people smashed that interview...(Original post by Fire Point)

Re: Aberdeen Dental Applicants 2012Alevels are rubbish tbf(Original post by SpeedyDrill)
What were your Alevels grades?

You need to apply smartly.
p.e. B, chem D, biology C and maths D there was extenuating circumstances but i thought grad entry doesn't look at your Alevels ?
I applied to PMDC, aberdeen, KCL and Barts had a interview at PMDC and messed it up big time with nerves it was my own fault tho
yourself ? -

Improve ukcat and interview technique. For ukcat just learn all the techniques from the 600 qs book and do every practice you can get. I got 800+ in the translation part by just learning how it was done. Interview is all about communication. I'll write more on this soon, but its all about asking open questions and letting the patient reach their own decision. Try joining a toastmasters groupfor a wee while. -
