Hi! I was just wondering whether it would be worth applying to Cardiff as a non-Welsh student?

Heyy guys, I am a 1st yr dental student at Cardiff, and yes I got in as a English applicant, you chances are not totally annihilated if you come from outside of Wales. In fact, majority of my cohort aren't Welsh. Other factors come into play for interview selection xx

Who did your school advise you to apply to? My school has given no help at all.

So when I applied in 2022 (as a non-contextual) , they would check you meet the minimum A-Level predictions and GCSE requirements, then your highest 7 GCSEs are converted into points, alongside your UCAT score, SJT score (make sure your B1 or B2) and personal statement. Cardiff take a very holistic approach so there wasn't a UCAT cut-off. But make sure you have good grades for GCSEs like 9s and 8s, cuz it is known Cardiff prefer high GCSE grades. However, double check on their website for 2024 entry and if this has remained the same.

Make school didn't really advise me as well. I just did my own research through university webpages, data of what the typical past applicant looks like (like the ones that get in), briefly past threads on TSR, and definitely lots of prayer xx

To give you guys a rough guideline, I applied in the 2022/23 cycle, with: GCSEs of 99999999888, A-Level Predictions of A*A*A, UCAT score of 2490 Band 1(49th percentile) , and I did the BMAT as well. I applied to Liverpool, Birmingham, Cardiff and Leeds. I got interviews at Leeds and Cardiff, I got an offer later onwards at Cardiff.

It does say in admissions doc about the Welsh applicants.
Also - how many of the 70 places are already reserved for applicants not hitting last years grades who had firmed Cardiff. Do you know?
