2012 applicants thread

Thats correct sweetheart, don't worry just yet Leeds are sending out Interview dates on the week commencing 2nd of January.

Hello, I'm currently studying my AS levels and looking to do Dentistry as a degree. However my GCSE have let me down due to family problems I had. Unfortunately I only got B's and C's (English=C Maths =B). My teachers and I believe I should be able to get the 3 A's required for Dentistry. However what do you guys think on my chances of getting in? Please help currently at a emotional and confused state

Does anyone know what are the chances of getting an unconditional for dentistry at glasgow uni are? What if you exceed their requirements and get 5 A's, have good work exp and extracurricular stuff etc

You're not at fault, it's them. They've received 985 applications ... and they're selecting applicants who have applied with a Medicine personal statement, the system is a joke. I find it hard to believe that out of 985, they couldn't shortlist 300 good quality applicants with a Dentistry personal statement to interview. They should know that Dental applicants only get 4 choices.
Like I said, it's not your fault they invited you for an interview.

Hey, I've also applied to Glasgow ! interview is in Feb. (19th) . What are your stats if I may ask - ukcat, grades etc.

Also, I think an unconditional offer would be given to someone who has already achieved the required grades (they place conditions on adv. higher grades , B in either chem. or Biology I recall from a conversation I had once with glasgow admission. but don't quote me on this.)

Mines is on the 18th! I got 5 A's and in the ukcat I got 623 if I remember correctly. What about you?

And ahh thanks, but just for clarity - do you mean that if you exceed their requirements of AABB then you get an unconditional? Would they give out conditions if you just met the requirements?

no, I don't think that is the case - although it would be nice I think that perhaps they give you a higher academic score if you exceed their minimum requirement - hence more likely to receive an offer, however their offer will still be based on getting the the B in Adv. Higher.

Also 5 A's - 645 Ukcat ... I think this year their cut-off score is 615 ! So it's all good. Best of luck for your interview mate

Haha yea if that was the case it would be so good but ah i see, thanks for clarifying Its just that last year my friend got an unconditional and she got 5 A's. Plus she was still in 6th year

Cool, I got lucky then :L and yea best of luck to you too mate

were have you applied m8 - most uni's interview till march i think !

any1 happen to know how many people are called to interview at leeds?

bristol

birmingham
leeds

300 I think! when is ur interview, pal??

Wow thank you! owch thats horrible stats they got like 1500 applications if i remeber correctly. 20% chance :/ .

I have applied to Glasgow,Sterling, Heriott watt, Dundee and aberdeen to do BCS in Pyschology, I sent off my application at the end of november and have not even recieved a recognition from any of my Choices and I've seen that people have recieved almost instant offers from Glasgow, I am sooooo Worried. My Predicted grades are A* (in psychology) and AB, And got ABC In my As levels. So I cant understand why No universities would want me at all, If I havent heard anything does this mean that it is a rejection ? I am so so so upset and worried
