I feel for you! I didn’t do amazing either despite lots of revision but there’s always a chance uni’s will invite you for an interview as UCAT is only one part of the application :smile:
How long do you guys think it will be until unis begin sending interview invites?

It was a tough journey from September to March but it was all worth it in the end. If you’re an aspiring dentist/medic, never give up on your dreams and don’t doubt yourself. You can do it.
