They're applicants from previous years 
But their interview dates are for later on this year
Or is that normal? Maybe I'm just really confused

I used the PS service on here and found it useless. They don't have many dental PS helpers on here and mine got checked by a medicine PS helper. The feedback was ridiculous and quite petty. The person who did mine obviously had too much time on their hands and tore apart every single sentence.
ask the user cocomango, gave me excellent feedback
are you all finished with your statements? anyone here yet to do their ukcat??

Hey does anyone think I've got a chance with my crap UKCAT score? 
GCSE- 5a*s 6as
AS -AAB
A2 predictions- AAA*
UKCAT -615
GCSE- 5a*s 6as
AS -AAB
A2 predictions- AAA*
UKCAT -615
Manchester don't use the UKCAT much and neither do Dundee. Newcastle tend not to care about a high UKCAT either - last year they wanted 600 or above. Although of course there are quite a few non-UKCAT unis too.

i know this might seem like a stupid question..but whats the easiest dental school to get into?
they`re all aab in entry requirements..but are any more lenient?

No they're all AAA. Except Glasgow which asks for AAB.
Easiest to get into is very subjective because entry requirements and selection policies vary from uni to uni. E.g. Someone with a UKCAT of 630 would find Sheffield a lot harder than Leeds - even though Leeds is the most competitive!
But based on competition (competition meaning the number of applicants per place available), Belfast has the lowest, followed by Dundee.
There's no such thing as leniency when it comes to entry requirements - but Kings do say they may even go down to BBB if you have extenuating circumstances and/or you go to a very poorly performing school.

last week i did my ukcat and got an average score of 660
could i still apply to kings and barts or do i not stand a chance there? (because i heard barts have a really high cut of mark)

Try look on the Barts website they usually publish the scores required. I only know that their cut-off in 2010 (2010 entry) was 638. As for Kings, it depends on your GCSEs.

Last year (for 2011 entry), King's had a higher cut of mark than Barts because King's ranked everyone via UKCAT score (something Barts was known for) and Barts took other criteria into considertaion.. During my interview, a girl said she got 630 in her UKCAT, so not all hope is lost. Hope that helped

It would be good idea to call Kings to see what they're planning to do this year, since they did this last year:

Having said that I called Kings last year and they said they wouldn't do anything like that! But really every Dental School's admissions department is is full of lying, bull****ting, ****ing ********s. They're a bunch of no-good ****ers so you so you shouldn't expect much.
Ahhh that felt good !

heyy thanks! for my gcses i got 10A*'s and 5A's and for As level i got AAA/b and an A in critical thinking...

Those are good grades. All in all I think you should apply. But as someone else said - you probably shouldn't focus on a few unis, because dentistry is so competitive it's wise to choose places that will be easier for you to get in. Having said that, I don't think Kings is a terrible choice with regards to the likelihood of getting an interview.
I recommend Dundee though, they don't care much about the UKCAT, they like good grades and they have a relatively low number of applicants per place. Then again I am biased!

I'm not too sure about King's as I'm not sure what the cut-off for UKCAT was for 2011 entry, but I would definitely consider Barts with those grades

hey, i applied last year with a ukcat score of 630 and got an iv with barts! my chem teacher also claimed the ukcat cut off score last year was "590" she seemed pretty sure of herself and when i asked her how she knew she couldnt tell me... but anyway ur academic results are v similar to mine so i dont see why u shouldnt apply for barts! hopefully ul get an iv and ur interviewers wont be as cold and stern as mine lol
