oh dear =s

whens your portsmouth interview?


Hey sorry about the late reply, I had my interview few days ago. I think it was okay but theres too much competition :frown: I really hope to get an offer from them. They said they are going to take about three weeks until they tell us the decisions.

What did you all wear to your interviews? Is a suit the norm or is it too formal? I'm a girl.
deoends on ur personality - i wouldnt wear a suit because i think how uncomfortable i was would show in my interview - i am going towear black trousers - flat shoes (would fall over in heels) and some kind of cardigan shirt combo!
hey guys just wondering if anyones going to the birmingham taster day tomorrow? :smile: and what you're gonna wear and what were gonna be doing ? (:

So you have applied for both courses havent you Dental Hygiene as one choice and Dental Hygiene and Therapy as another? Be prepared if you have they will ask you to choose between the two. You shouldnt have to wait long for a decision then seeing as your on the last day.. Id have preferred that to having my interview early!

i-like-teef!
has anyone else applied to barts or kings?


Hi 'i-like-teef!' Im a dental nurse too, just qualified about 72hours ago :smile: (with dip from Barts, just got National to go in May).

I have applied to Barts and Eastman/UCL, but have only heard from Eastman (interview on friday yikes!)

I heard via the grape vine the applications are being sorted out now for barts as they ha some admin issues, so should be anytime now for letters in the post...

Where are you working now, and where is your first choice for HT? i have heard UCL are uber strict, but very good course, but Barts are so friendly :smile: Good luck with your applications :wink:

To be honest I didnt think of any back up ideas when applying to this course, I thought I'd get a place somewhere :frown: If I do get rejected by Liverpool and Portsmouth I will probably take a gap year and do some more work experience in different Dental environments and then reaply for 2011 entry. Alternatively I could apply for a dental nursing course through UCAS extra (if thats available) complete the course and then reaply for DH&T.

I have a strong feeling that Liverpool will be a rejection :frown: so I just hope my Portsmouth interview goes well next week...so worried:frown:


Hiya, have you had your interviews yet? If so hope it was all good.
You mentioned maybe doing dental nursing first if things go pear shaped. i have just done the dental nursing course at Barts ( Kings do one too) thats PAID... yup, paid! 12months, either march or sept start, and you do hospital diploma and/or national cert. i loved it, really sad to finish :frown: Learnt heaps and seen so much cool stuff working in hospital, its well worth it :smile: but good luck with your HT apps :smile:
