Hmm a bit late to reply so if you've had the interview, hope it went well. Otherwise: the day itself is quite informal, with a few talks (one was about accomodation), a tour of the dental sch with a dental student, a trip to the dissection lab and a visit to the union for lunch. The interview is quite formal but not nerve - wrecking. Just be honest and remember things from your day in Sheffield as they may help you answer questions.

Bs,1A,1A*

I have read in the univesity websites that typical students usually have 6-8 A's at GCSE..But i would double check with some unis especially u seem to be doin well at Alevels
good luck

really if u can get predicted AAA, get loads of work experience and and excellent reference, then this will balance out your gcse grades, and you may well stand a chance.

Go by train and make sure you visit the dental school as well as the main part of the university. I went to sheffield in January I loved it. It's super duper :P You will love it :biggrin: apply there! lol
