I’ve applied to Plymouth with and without the foundation year. I haven’t heard back yet. Have you?


Same here and no I haven’t! I have very low AS level results and even though I’m doing an access course right now I doubt I will get accepted straight on to the degree. I wonder how many people they accept for the foundation....Can I ask what credentials you’re applying with? X

I have high predicted grades and hopefully i get those, i got rejected from portsmouth for DH&T and i did get offered for dental nursing however im rejecting because i would rather just take a year off and get relevant work experience and do my own thing especially with the whole corona virus situation. Also dental nursing is something thats not for me as i really just want to DH&T.

Fair enough xx hope you will get in this year , good luck with other Unis fingers crossed 🤞

You are not alone x I am yet to hear anything from Essex and applied in October .I phoned them and emailed them but all they said ,admin has looked at it but the decision on my application hasn't been made yet .They are very busy this year and probably leaving maybe pile the last but that's my assumption...Last year I applied and been rejected really quick straight after deadline x So being a dental nurse I think you in better position than me too as I just done some shadowing and Access course x I am 31.

Thank you for reply. It make me feel better knowing there are other people waiting for their decision. Fingers crossed you will get place this year x

Because of no work experience. But I couldn’t get any because of corona. It’s a sucky reason tbh but hey that uni is very competitive :/. It wasn’t my first choice anyway aha
