Changed my mind to Biochemistry, what about you?
Hey everyone,

Has anyone got a Dentistry interview at Kings? If so we've got some great free advice for you! Our KCL student blogger (currently in the second year of the Dentistry course) has written a blog for us on the interview and kinds of topics that could come up in the MMI interview.

For instance, have you thought about manual dexterity? This is a key skill for all dentists! Ways in which you can demonstrate your abilities in manual dexterity are through any musical instruments you play, origami, model making and much more! You can even bring something you have made along to the interview to show the admissions tutors to impress them even further.

To read the blog in full, feel free to click here!

We hope this helps,

I have one in 10 days, but I don't know if it's the last day of interviews. Concerning the 4-years programme, they said only 45-ish students were invited to an interview but I don't know if they interviewed more or intend to do so
Does anyone know what their interviewed: offers ratio is (this has probably been asked already I know!)
