i reckon i could if i hunted for it
i dont know what else i need to take though
- dress smartly
- stay calm
- why do you wanna do dentsitry, what inspired you, why not med, why bham?
- evidence on MD, which didnt seem necessary!!
i still need to email the lady to tell her im coming! XD
ahhh ssoo nervous!xx


Yea I suppose I wouldn't worry about it as its so soon.
That's probably all you need to know, you might get a question like why not a dental nurse/hygienist/technician. Oh don't be! I'm sure you will be fine :smile: x

I've done a Henna course and I've done my Piano grade 2.
I can bring pics of my henna stufff, but i've lost my piano certificate xD


I don't want to put a downer on things but I remember at some open days (can't remember if Birmingham) they said musical instruments isn't good enough due to no fine motor control so don't worry too much about the certificate . The henna should be ok though, take some pictures or try doing some on your hand to show them at the interview
PEOPLE

ah that was just to get your attention lol i have a question which is this:

you know how the average ukcat score was pretty high this year, do you think the medics pushed it up and us dental hopefuls average may have been slightly lower? because i need this to be the case haha i got 660 and my GCSE's aren't great compared to others (4a* 5a 1b 1c in french)

so yeah and good luck to the person above me btw and anyone else who has an interview soon

I don't think they differentiate between the courses people are doing when setting the overall average. So I don't think the dental average will be lower.
