Yeha exactly otherwise it will be April, with kings is so hard cause I can barely find ppl on tsr but I’m guessing they’ve already sent like 1 or 2 offers..?

Thinking about it, better to not have an answer than get a rejection 💀😭

disagree! a response is a lot better at least then it’s confirmed. i had two gap years out of my control and loads of pre interview rejections it sucks not getting in but it’s better to have an answer then constantly worrying you deserve an answer

....well kings rejected me lol (pretty sure it's to do with my bsc as a friend also got rejected and we had the same dental undergrads early feb) just frustrating with all this false hope/bread crumbing. first emailing me for evidence for caring then 1-2 weeks later emailing for my bsc & msc certificates and transcripts. haha anyway their loss! not sure what more i could've done when i also have a dentistry masters. their response was extremely (undergraduate style) generic too, talking about my GCSEs (they don't look at for grad entry), my school ( i left almot 5 years ago) etc.
graduate entry dentistry is ridicously competitive...only 69/1100 spaces for dentistry are for graduates in the uk so just getting one offer is more than enough. for those who may be worried about reapplying and taking a year out. take the risk, a year goes very fast don't let anything stop you.
i do have an offer from uclan which i am beyond thankful for, although rejection does suck/hurt, uclan is clearly the most suitable environment for me i even had concerns about the kings bds course being huggggeee. compared to uclan 29 students per year split into the decs
at the end of the day you only need the one offer :smile: I've now accepted my uclan offer, just over two months after getting it, so i can focus on that sept start! in four years i would've done my final written exams so i can't wait to be a dentist:smile:
Hi @applesandalevels,

Firstly I'd like to say a huge congratulations on receiving an offer to study dentistry here at UCLan, all your hard work has paid off!🎉

I'm sorry to hear that you are disappointed about not receiving an offer from other universities but like you said, you only need one offer and we are looking forward to welcoming you onto our Preston campus soon! 😊

Let me know if you have any questions about anything from accommodation options to preparing for life here as a UCLan student.

All the best,
Sarah

I don't think they are sending anymore offers sadly, unless someone rejects their offer. Is there a waiting list this year?

most likely good from what she was saying she has an offer for uclan but she lives in london so kcl would be better suited for her location wise but the course at uclan is defo more our style
