anyone firmed cardiff?


yup! :smile:
hello everyone!

just wondering if anyone knows which dental schools accept re applicants (ie. those who get the grades but don't get any offers). Preparing myself for the worst (waiting on lpool).

Also, most if not all dental schools don't accept resit candidates do they?

How did you guys find reapplying? were the interviews slightly easier considering you knew what to expect?

thanks :smile:

I got an offer from manchester yesterday (by email then track). i've imagined a million times how i would post on TSR if i ever got an offer but i was just so happy and speachless yesterday that i just didnt post.

i had 4 rejections last year and 3 this year.manchester was my last chance for dentistry (in the UK atleast) and i got it. GUYS NEVER LOSE HOPE! Even if you dont get it (i know ur probably thinking its easy for me to say) things will work out the best way for YOU.

taking a gap year is excellent (just make sure you get the grades) in the view of the interviewers since your seen as being more mature (even if ure not :P)

Just make sure you do stuff on your gap year then, that you can talk about in the interview e.g. getting a job, getting work experience (like a for a couple of months) and travelling. Just dont sit on ure ass doing nothing (until you get your offer, then do what the hell you want :smile: )

I don't think anywhere is interviewing any more for 2012 entry. There might be a few places that haven't replied post interview though.

Do you mind if I could ask why you got rejected by Manchester for Dentistry the first time round when you were a MAP student? The reason is because I am a MAP student wishing to apply for Dentistry and I am scared I will not get in.

so i'm also on a gap year, and i was actually quite curious, when people say 'travelling' does that mean being adventurous, or just taking a holiday? :smile:
