Yay congrats 👏

Thank you. Congrats to you too. I wonder how many they are interviewing and how many spaces they have. Hope we both get in.

Just because it’s local for me, it’s the fourth best dental school in the UK and I really enjoyed the open day when I went. I can definitely envision myself being there. Which dental school do you want to go to the most?

I am hoping to get into Newcastle too.

Hey guys, this is my second year applying for DH, do you think i should even bother applying to Portsmouth, last year i wasn't even offered an interview there. I had an interview with Essex but i wasn't offered a place. This year i'm planning to apply to LSBU, Essex, possibly Portsmouth, Plymouth and i need to find one more uni to apply to. I have 5 GCSEs, NEBDN dental nursing qualification (3 and a half yrs experience), about to finish my HE course (biology & physics pathway), currently on a radiography & oral health course to strengthen my application. I feel like i'm getting too old for uni because people my age would have finished uni by now, i'm 22, turning 23 in feb *crying face* and i haven't even applied to unis yet and people are getting offers already!

A couple of years ago I believe they had 24 spaces. It may have increased by now!

Thank you for the recommendation, i might just apply to that as an option! Have you gotten any interview offers yet? Also where have you applied and is this your 1st year applying?

well done on getting an offer! That's amazing, at least you know for a fact you'll be studing DH next year, i'm so happy for you as it is so competitive! May i ask which uni you got an offer for and what qualifications you applied with and how did the interview go? Was it through Zoom?

From Teeside, i applied with an access course and dental nursing diploma, interview was a bit intense and i felt i was put on the spot... it was via Zoom

Congrats on getting an offer from Teesside. I'm still waiting to hear from them after having my interview with them 3 weeks ago. Do you mind me asking what unis you have heard from?
