    Cardiff Dental Applicants 2012
    Been a bit of discussion about Cardiff do thought I'd make a thread to help clear things up

    From their website:

    The deadline for receipt of UCAS applications was 15 October 2011.* All forms are currently being screened and decisions made can be viewed via UCAS track in due course.*

    All applicants who have been unsuccessful in being invited to attend an MMI interview and wish to receive initial feedback please contact admissions@cardiff.ac.uk

    All MMI interviews for places on the BDS course will take place between MONDAY 20 - FRIDAY 24 FEBRUARY 2012.*Please note that NO other dates are available for interview. Overseas applicants will be contacted separately if they are chosen for a telephone / SKYPE interview.

    I'd prefer the MMI format compared to the traditional method.
    have you had experience with them before?

    hey everyone, ive got an interview at cardiff too on the 20th, dont worry about the MMI they're not as scary as they sound. i had an interview in preston a couple of weeks back that did this and its actually quite fun, they do it like this to assess you in different ways rather than just seeing whos good at answering set questions. just count urself lucky u dont have to do an exam like i did in preston!

    they test different parts of you. it should have been explained in the interview invite. they basically test all the different attributes you need to be a good dentist
