not true.
cardiff and b'ham are meant to be two of the hardest to get into. cardiff, as probabaly everyone from northern ireland wanting to do dentsitry apply there, and b'hma are very picky on thier GCSE grades. Don't worry too much just yet.

I personally think, GCSE's are more important. They are the last official qualification you have. AS's can be changed by resits. how were your GCSE's?
And grades are not all that matters. yes, they need to be decent, but your PS has to good too, with work experince and extra curricular thing in there.

you still have a chance, may be at Barts.

you applied to all the difficult unis.
the difficult ones are probable cardiff, b-ham, bristol, any london uni, Q-belfast, and dundee.

the easier ones are liverpool, sheffield, manchester and N-castle(still very competitive tho).

unlucky Sukh :frown:

but dont give up!!! im sure youll get in somewhere else :wink:

dentistry has been ultra competitive this year though. 5 people from my school have been rejected at their 1st interview already - 2 from bham, 2 from sheffield, and 1 at liverpool. and i go to one of the best schools in the uk!!! i know for a fact that these 5 people got really good as levels so the rejections are probably mainly based on gcses and interview.

well good luck to all you dentists!!!!

my friend got an offer from bham dentistry with ABBC at AS!
dont worry. it only takes one offer, and just cos bham and cardiff rejected you it doesnt mean other places will, its very rare to get four offers
chin up :biggrin:

Hardly anyone gets all 4 offers for med,dent or vet.

It only takes one offer which is, incidently, exactly what most current students would have held when they applied...
