I couldn't find a thread for Bristol 2013 Dentistry applicants, so I thought I would make one. Seems people are getting interviews and rejections now. I'm still yet to hear from them.

Can anybody tell me anything about the interview format...the questions and how it will be.
Really apprehensive.
Would appreciate it alot.

I've been worrying about it too, especially because preparation has been tough to fit with jan exams!

For us last year we didnt need anything. CRB is done when you are actually at the uni :smile:

Sorry if someone has already asked this, but just to confirm, Bristol no longer asks you to write an essay right?

So does anyone have any clue as to what sort of things they will ask??

I'm pretty sure of the 'why dentistry' 'Why Bristol' and 1 or more ethical scenarios, but what else??

The classic questions were asked why bris, why uni, why dent etc :smile:

But this year its in the MMI format, it will vary no? More emphasis on ethicla questions maybe?

i don't know if they ask for an essay at the interview anymore but i have heard from several sources that the essay is only to ensure that your writing style is coherent, spelling ok etc and the content is not really scrutinised. do you have an interview coming up?
