Dental School Interview: Manual Dexterity (2019 Applicants)

For all of you people in Year 12, looking to go into dentistry. Post your gcse results below to compare the fierceness of the competition for places ahead in 2019 when we apply to dental schools of our choice.

Something else I was keen and interested in- how are you guys going to show manual dexterity? Do we need to? Thanks!
In year 13 right now, 10A* 2A, 740 UKCAT Band 2... for manual dexterity i'm going to bring some sewing i have done to show the panel; it could be a good idea idk lol :/ . Its not worth bringing anything in for an MMI, as there wont be time for the interviewers to look, unless the university asks. Just write about it in your personal statement.

8A* 1A 2B 625 Band 2 AAA
I did gcse art so i might bring in some old artwork for the MMI but i did talk about it in my personal statement, i dont have any panels.

What universities are you applying to? And how would you go about taking artwork to an mmi Because their are so many stations and with such short time?
