Dentistry 2022 Entry - Reapplicants' Thread

Hi, I got my results today and it was a nightmare. I did Biology, Chemistry and Maths and got CBB, which was so shocking because I was getting As throughout year 12 and 13. I have appealed them all, and will be waiting for a response. Let's say they do nothing about it; and I need at least 3 A's to get into dental school, is it worth doing them all in November? Or should I do the 2 easiest ones in November then the hardest in the summer of next year? I'm really stressed because I also have a UCAT test to revise for in mid-September as well, and I have a question to how Uni's will look at my application- since the deadline for dentistry on UCAS is October 15th, I have a bad feeling that even if I get an excellent score in my UCAT they would look at my grades that I got originally and reject me straight away. I just need advice from anyone in this stressful time, thanks.

I got A level CAGs A*AC (French, Biol, Chem) in 2020, redid Chem and got a TAG A* this year. Does anyone know if KCL is accepting this or are they counting it as a resit? And any general advice about applying? I was rejected from all 4 last year, but got an average UCAT which I am pretty sure I'm on track to massively improve on.

Thanks

Hi,

Firstly, please send an email to them ASAP. I felt so disheartened after receiving my A-level results this year until I emailed all the dental schools asking them if they accepted summer 2022 resits. They were very helpful and now I am hopeful for getting into university next year. So please ask KCL so you know what to do. Furthermore, for the UCAT situation, what I did was aim for 700-750, which caused me to work as best I can, so even if you come out with 650-680, that is a competitive score. Even then, I know people who got rejected with a score of 650 band 1 etc. Just aim and work hard and you will be fine

Hi,

Does anyone know what unis have said they are accepting summer resits for the 2022 entry?

@mesopotamia do you know which schools accept reapplicants if they didn’t apply last year. I am not resitting anything just reapplying.

Most unis as far as I’m aware, allow you to reapply. I had an interview at Bristol last year and was rejected post interview and I’m reapplying to them. They personally told me I was allowed to do so. I’ll also be reapplying to Kings after being rejected post interview too.

The thing is that I didn’t apply to Bristol last year and some unis don’t let you reapply unless you applied last year

Could you please name some unis you know/heard of which follows this rule?

I’ve only heard that QUB and QMUL, none which I’ve confirmed myself just what I’ve heard on these forums
