Medicine Applications for 2024 entry

Hi guys, i am going chemistry ,biology and Philosophy A-level. Do you think this is appropriate for medical school? Will my application be considered equally as opposed to someone who is studying three math and science A-levels ?

Hi!
I studied chemistry, biology and english literature at A level- finished in 2022.
Applied for dentistry this year and have received 3/4 interviews (havent heard back post interview yet).
As long as you study chemistry and biology the third a level doesnt matter at all
What matters is that you have 3 A predictions and a good ucat score

Have you received any offers?

Yes I got 2!! I withdrew from the other uni before I heard back!
Firmed university of Birmingham

Congrats!! that's great

Thank you so much

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of volunteering and work experience did you do for dentistry?

I volunteered at a vaccine centre for the better half of a year (although I think a care home would work just aswell)
I had 5 days of work experience in total, 2 with an endodontist and 3 in a general practice. I think this provided me with enough insight into dentistry however, I read articles to help boost my personal statement.
I think having a good set of extracurricular activities defo helped

Thanks for this!
