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

Oh sorry Nergis, I thought I was still talking to Fazziar 1 :s. I think I was pretty tired when I replied haha. I haven't taken the exam before but from what other people have told me It based on what the prior knowledge form on the UClan website say you need to know. So What degree did you do by the way? What are your stats if you don't mind me asking. Its nice to actually find someone applying to grad entry this year haha.

Where else have you applied? If you have applied to Aberdeen we should be hearing back earliest by the 12th of this month.

It's alright haha, no worries Oh ok, yeah I've read those topics. Cheers! Do you know in how much detail I need to know those topics, by any chance?

I am studying Biomedical sciences at the moment, in my third year, predicted a 2.1. I have applied to Cardiff (undergrad, UKCAT), Plymouth (undergrad, GAMSAT), UCLan (graduate entry) and Bristol Uni.. And my fifth choice was Bath uni, for MPharm, just as a back up really :P Wbu? Ow no I haven't applied to Aberdeen, because its about 8-9 hours from home. Didn't want to go that far from home..

Did you not think about Liverpool or Kings? I would find funding another degree impossible so I'm literally just applying to graduate entry.

Not too sure? I've heard that its not too intensive if you have already covered the stuff. Remember its first year stuff you need to know. But as I have said I have not taken the test so wouldn't know.

I have applied to Cardiff too

Ow cool, I am from Cardiff haha! Actually I did think of applying to kings but the competition is crazy! I had 725 in my UKCAT, which I didn't think was competitive enough for kings.. So I actually didn't want to waste a choice.. If that makes sense But yeah, good luck with your application! Hope all goes well!

Hmm yes fair point, well, fingers crossed. If you dont mind me asking, what degree did you do?

Not too sure, Leicester do have other medically related courses as well so I am sure you could probably pick and choose very relevant modules.

Have a look at Exeter Medical Sciences to see what sort of prior knowledge you need http://www.exeter.ac.uk/undergraduate/degrees/medicalsci/medicalsci/#Programme-structure

If your degree title isn't BioMed but you have covered all the necessary bits then you will be fie I am sure .

Good luck with your application. I am applying this year for my BDS but there doesn't seem to be much entry level interest on the student room compared with last year. Very strange. I will let you know how my application goes.

Wheres everyone thinking of applying?

My Stats are:
GCSE: 2A* 5A
A level: ABC (Biology Chemistry Maths)
2.1 in Biochemistry Cardiff University

ukcat booked for end of Aug
