I mean do you have colleagues or tutors that can read your personal statement to give you feedback? Have you sent any applications off yet?

I haven't put down people who they can get feedback from really :/ but I did explain how j got into the career purely because it was when I was 16 so thought it would be okay o.O

Heya!

Firstly, best of luck! I have done the interview for Cardiff. It was quite pleasant and was just consisted of MMIs ( similar to OSCEs for d.nursing) Just read ahead on the subject and career, relevant dental news, do a bit of personal reflection ( your strengths/weaknesses) and try to exude confidence!

:smile: Marisa!

Hi peeps

I qualified/graduated from Birmingham in the summer of this year.

Hi guys, can anyone who's been accepted into DHT, give us some insight into there experience and qualifications? I'm an 19 year old nurse, have been working since 16 at my local practice, I'm on a OHC course at Barts London. What would I need to do to further strengthen my application? I was considering either AS bio of Radiography? Thanks in advance!

I have only applied for Sheffield. Leeds wants a biology a-level I think, so I didn't apply there. x
