I haven’t heard anything yet! My friend last year got an interview invite the week before her interview, so probably 1st week of December at the earliest! There’s a Dentistry Whatsapp Group chat with lots of 2018 applicants for Dentistry including applicants to QUB (including myself) you are more than welcome to join! Pm me if you’re interested :smile:

You say that, yet at IGCSE I acheived grades of 3A*'s, 5A's and 2B's yet achieved A*A*A at A level.
In addition, this is in no way a personal dig at you personally but more a generic rant;
The majority of dental applicants that I have come across are rather arrogant and over - confident; two characteristics that do not necessarily go hand in hand with a profession such as dentistry. Talking from a personal standpoint, I suggest you would be wise to change that attitude.

They all use the UKCAT scores in different ways! Some unis rank applicants and have a cut off which varies annually! Others use it as an overall percentage of all your academic criteria! It’s worth going onto university websites and seeing how they use it!😁

I am in no way overconfident, my point was a valid since if you can't get an A in say biology at GCSE it is highly unlikely you would do at A level. And by you presenting yourself as an anomaly doesn't form a good argument it just shows you are an exception. You are also making a sweeping generalisation about dental applicants when most likely you have met/talked to less than 1% of those applying for the course.
