Plymouth Dentistry 2024 Entry

Hi guys, was just doing some research and the cut off for 2023 entry was around 2650 and was a huge jump from the previous year’s cut off. Does anyone believe that another huge jump in UCAT cut off will be likely ? Or was it just the odd high increase due to the previous year’s applicants grade inflations?

Most likely due to the inflation of grades but it just depends on the cohort applying, anything could happen but I doubt there’ll be another big jump

Hey, so would it be risky applying there with 2770 B2, I noticed last years jump was like 150 ? I'm a contextual applicant tho so hopefully that helps

HI there, I'm apply with A*A*A* predicted and UCAT of 2550 band 3. Would it be risky to apply?. GCSES 9998877665

2430 band 1… risky?

2430 is very risky i think anywhwere

Id say try your luck at Leeds, Cardiff, Liverpool or Dundee

No it’s not. Liverpool don’t have a cut-off, Cardiff interview a lot lower. There are options for low UCAT applicants. Leeds for example is worth a risk because no data is available and high UCAT applicants won’t want to risk a choice on it when they’ll definitely get interviews elsewhere, and it’s holistic. Dundee only put 40% onto UCAT. Belfast still a possibility if strong GCSE as it’s almost all based on those and very little on UCAT. Sheffield open day said strong GCSE can compensate for low UCAT. Birmingham too. Some universities recognise that UCAT scores might be based on high ability but might be lucky guesses, and with GCSE we all sit the same exam. Some look more at the type of person they’re going to train. All applications are a risk. Even a 3000 plus score to high UCAT universities is a risk. These scores only get you to the interview stage. Plymouth though is only looking at the UCAT so definitely risky. Although it’s not Russel Group which may deter some people.
