Re: *** DENTISTRY Graduate Entry Programme 2015!!!! *** Applicants Discussion Thread

I'm guessing it's just your transcript but I'll let you know for sure when I call them tomorrow
I have already graduated so I guess I'll throw in a copy of my certificate too

I have sent off my application and all my 'verification of prior learning' today .
Has anyone else applied/applying to Liverpool, UCLAN or Aberdeen?

Oh and does anyone know anything about the entrance exam for UCLAN?

Good luck!
Where did you apply?

Thanks and you!
applied to UCLAN and aberdeen for grad.. and Cardiff and Sheffield for undergrad! Not sure how I will fund it if I get into undergrad, but will cross that bridge when I come to it! Yourself?

I have applied to Liverpool, UCLAN and aberdeen for grad, and peninsula for undergrad! I'm not sure on funding either, but check out this website:

Are you nervous for the UCLAN entrance exam? I'm waiting before booking transport to see if they give us anymore info on it

That website looks good thanks! It would be such a shame if you had an offer, and had to reject it on the basis of money.
Yeah i am! Does everyone do it, or do they just select a certain number of candidates? Ive heard its just a multiple choice exam.. so I will have to revise some areas

Hey everyone! I'm currently at UCLan studying dentistry!

Just a couple of points:
Funding:
You can apply for student loans, but it is complex and technically you are applying as an undergrad on their form (<<< important). You can apply for the max maintenance loan, means tested or non-means tested. Student loans will only cover the first £5500ish of the tuition fees for all years. You must self fund the remainder for the first year, after that the NHS will fund it.

After first year, maintenance loan drops but you get a bursary instead.

Entrance exam:
I would say do not book transport this far in advance, if you are considering it, call the admissions first because I am pretty sure it is not carte-blanche for it. Everyone who meets the criteria gets to go to the entrance exam and everyone who passes goes to interview.

Do not spend hours & hours swotting for it, it's general stuff, with some subject specific questions (e.g. biochem, anatomy, biology) - so you'll either know it or you won't. By all means recap, but most of you guys are in third year you have other stuff to focus on too!

DON'T FORGET TO SEND YOUR VERIFICATION OF PRIOR LEARNING TO ADMISSIONS!!!

If you have any questions, PM me!
Good luck guys - you're nearly there!

Thanks for clearning that up!

Did anyone receive an email back from uclan? I got one from Aberdeen saying they had recieved my email and nothing from uclan! Me being the worrier I am am scared it didn't send properly

For anyone who is interested, the UKCAT results for this year have been released by Pierson Vue so you can gauge how you've done. Probably more useful for those applying to Kings and Aberdeen. The average has dropped quite a bit which will be good news for anyone that was worried theirs wasnt as good as what was the norm in previous years.
