KCL Dentistry 2024 Entry

Rejected as well 2770 b2 contextual 9887777666-wallah I’m moving on

Pre interview right?

Yeah but tbh my ucat was v poor. Hoping to reapply! I really struggle with ucat idk how people manage to get above 2500😭

If a gap years your guys choice do it.. but nobody ever talks about the reality of getting rejected AGAIN.. i achieved AAA and contextual at UOB and didn’t get a single interview, it’s a slap in the face and disrespectful when you tried your best and took the initiative to try again and still failed. I applied simultaneously while i started first year law at a russel group i applied to instead last year and i think i made the right choice because i’ll never take this disrespect and toxicity again, you’ll all find ur path❤️

Rejected pre interview. 2690, band 1, 999888888777 A*AA

I'm facing that right now lol. Feels like the grades I have mean nothing tbh.

Sorry that this is the result. Hope you get your other options.

ive done interviews at newcastle and liverpool so i am praying!!!

Oh ik, it feels like such a waste to have gone through so much stress and effort, taking STEM A levels too just because year 8 me thought it was possible as long as I worked hard. Honestly, sometimes things just aren't for us, and its gods way of showing us what is, or protecting us from a life time of unhappiness and regret. I never used to believe everything happens for a reason, but in the past few rough months I really do believe it. If i'd taken the gap year I wouldn't have a clue what to do, so I'm glad I opted for something else, but you'll figure it out, and you'll end up just where you're supposed to be. If dentistry really is for you, you will get there, and if it isn't you'll find something better

Thank you for the kind words. It just feels like I'm not good enough for dentistry or even university at this point. Glad you were able to find an option that suits you.

Not to be a thorn in the bush to all of you because I somewhat feel you guys after getting rejected post interview at QMUL, however I'm in year 13. But what I've noticed so far is that A-levels are not a determining factor, yes they're grades you need to achieve to actually confirm your place, but the fundamental to getting an offer; UCAT. Most effort needs to be put into it, as a high UCAT will guarantee a lot of interviewees, if also applied strategically. Again my UCAT wasn't that high, but I applied strategically and did quite a lot of research with my friend, doing FOI and looking at past data, and landed 5 interviews (5th being medicine which converted into an offer). But I think the crux of the matter is to focus all your attention on your UCAT, as regardless of what universities say, I believe they will always have the UCAT in highest regard and importance.
So it's not so much that they brush off your efforts and A-levels but the thing is everyone puts a lot of effort into those so they need more to 'differentiate', not to say that a low UCAT means you won't make a good dentist or whatnot.

Did they send a shorter message/reply yesterday?
Thanks

Don’t get disheartened. Last year I had high UCAT and estimated 4As all 9 GCSE and I got 4 interviews. Sadly was rejected by all 4 after interviews didn’t know what to do, all my friends went on to uni to do med and dent and everything they wanted to do. But I didn’t settle for less and took the year out. It was hard but I got through it and just got my first offer this year. We plan and God plans and His plan is always best. He gives us what we need and when we need it. Stay strong and never think that you are not good enough for anything. And plz if you do need any advice on anything don’t hesitate to ask.
