UKCAT cut-off points in dentistry.I was wondering if there was any cut-off points for UKCAT in dentistry?
Or any universities that are pretty harsh / easy going when it comes to UKCAT?
I was particularly thinking about...Glasgow, KCL, Liverpool, QM, Sheffield?
My UKCAT score wasn't too great.
But work experience wise:
One month at GDP.
Weekly volunteer at the British Dental Association museum.
Maxillo-facial surgeon shadowing at St. Barts.
Orthodontist placement.
Volunteer at Primary school.
I have a few extra-curricular activities up my sleeve.
& I have a paid job at a dental lab.
I'm confident about my personal statement.
...but my UKCAT score is scaring me.

Re: UKCAT cut-off points in dentistry.The placement at the museum was a mission.
And...if you really want a placement in an orthodontist, youre going to have to look beyond Ilford, noone takes you on round there.
My placement is about one and a half hours away from my house. I go on Monday, and its only for 3 days.

Re: UKCAT cut-off points in dentistry.OoOh, I called Glasgow about looking at AS grades, and they said that they wouldnt give interviews if you don't have atleast BBB at AS.(Original post by Dhesi)
Last year Glasgow didnt seem to take it into much consideration. I know lots of people who gt in that didnt do brilliantly in it.
They're a bit fussy with that. -

Re: UKCAT cut-off points in dentistry.S'ppose thats why they can use UKCAT less in the selection process.
But, kinda doesnt give you a second chace to have a go to get in, for people like moi, I got a C at AS.

Re: UKCAT cut-off points in dentistry.Erm, I'm doing the C at A2. So I'll have to pull it up.
But, if your going to leave it at a c, ill deff just leave it as pending and resit a module to get a B.
