Dentistry Reapplicants 2012

yeahh i got put on the waiting list in the end lol, too much drama they made us wait insanely long to find out

Have you mentioned anything related to pharmacy in your personal statement?

erm it says this on their website 'If you have applied to us before, any subsequent application should provide updated information on your suitability for the course. We reserve the right to draw on any information from previous applications.' about pervious applicants. so i could reapply i guess cz im not retaking any a levels :s

but im not sure how they use ukcat, on their website it says they do not have a cut off score for ukcat, so do u know how it is considered by any chance?

ahh im sure they'll give u an offer again with ure stats n work exp etc they'd be silly not to

Can anyone shed a light on which two unis out of cardiff dundee liverpool and leeds i should choose with a ukcat of 662.5 gcses: 10 A*s AS: 4 as A2: 3 As and a B ? i dont care where i go i just want to choose the ones i'd have maximum chance of getting an iv/offer with..

my other two choices for definite are Birmingham and Kings

thanks!

cardiff- to be honest all of the one's you have mentioned

you have great academics for all

thanks, i just dunno if i should choose another non ukcat uni (like liverpool which offer a guranteed iv if u meet basic entry requirements) or a ukcat uni... really cant decide !

to be honest it's all luck aswell i know someone with no A* at gcse's who got 3 ofers from non ukcat univeristy's he didn't even meet the minimum gcse requirements and this was this year aswell.

like i said before you have excellent academics and the ukcat univeristy's dont only look at ukcat.

thanks, i just dunno if i should choose another non ukcat uni (like liverpool which offer a guranteed iv if u meet basic entry requirements) or a ukcat uni... really cant decide !

is that true about liverpool?

is that true about liverpool?

Ah well thats great! Oh so have you got your AAA but your not on the course this year because you didnt get an offer? Or are you doing what im doing, additonal alevels?

To my knowledge Manchester give you points for each differnt factor in the application for instance, grades, UKCAT, ps and they then rank the candidates and thats the order of called interviews. Those who score at the bottom are just rejected. They then interview and you recieve additional points - depending on your total they then offer or reject you. Going off my application last year my UKCAT was lower than what i got this year and my grades were similar i would say that PS & Interview are what makes or breaks you chance of an offer.

im sure everyone who applys meets the basic entry requirements so they can't realistically interview everyone

or can they...

no i was told they do interview everyone who meets the basic entry requirements... they interview SO many people

yeah thats what my friend told me who got an offer with them she said they give every1 who meets teh basic requirements interviews.. but obv that means the iv has to go REALLLY well to get an offer

do you know how many people applied soz about my previous statement your probz right

I highly doubt that- seems very unlikely.

yehh got my grades, and nope not doing additional a levels, thort id do more work exp etc over the year and maybe travel n more charity work

and yehh i think i shud stick to non ukcat unis with 585 ahh i hate the ukcat! its so stupid! i dont think i cud ever get used to it no matter how much practise i do!
