Graduate entry dentistry 2024

Well here we go again x 4....1st time I missed the grades for undergrad and got AAAC (the C in chemistry) and ended up doing a BSc, now I'm on my MSc... really considering doing a PHD. This will be my fourth time applying, 3rd time as a graduate.

Putting out positive energy that I will smash the UCAT and also get an offer to study for 2024 entry.

My stats are 1st BSc(Hons), predicted a distinction for my masters/working on research towards a treatment/cure for Behcet's disease and I'm also a qualified/registered DCP!

I just want to get into a BDS course, so I guess this is my gap year(?), anyone else in the same boat?

My UCAT is in September so Band 1 and 900 average score would be amazing!! (since it seems every dental school wants UCAT now !!)

Currently thinking of applying to UCLAN not sure where else I can go!

Wow, hopefully this year is your year. Have you done your ucat yet?

Hi there @applesandalevels,

Great to hear that you are thinking of applying for our BDS Dental Surgery course!

If you would like any more information on the course or want to know about life here at UCLan do let me know.

All the best,
Sarah

I really hope so too I can't imagine doing anything else! Also no my ucat is end of September? Are you grad entry too? Have done your ucat if so how did you find it?

Yeah I am grad entry as well and I've got mine on Saturday, hopefully it goes well and good luck to you

ohh all the best let me know how it goes! where are you thinking of applying??

Will do and I'm thinking of leeds, liverpool, queen mary, kings or newcastle, wbu?

Hi Sarah

Just wondering how the UCAT will be used for 2024 entry? Is there a cut off? Will sjt be used as well as the other sections? Will the ucat just be used to rank people and not in conjunction with anything else like academics and personal statement...any information for ucat will be appreciated !

I know someone who had a 1st class degree and around 2500 ish in UKAT and got an interview then offer for Aberdeen, was a UK student too so maybe consider Aberdeen?

were they Scottish or ROUK? ik they favour Scottish students over rouk, i'm going to apply for uclan, Aberdeen, kings and leeds

That is so reassuring as Aberdeen is my first choice and I got 2520 band 2 sjt.
Was that person who got the offer from last year's cohort?

Yep, know her, she declined it for UCLAN but yes was just last yr so she'll be starting uni this month

that's soo good!
why did she decline uclan? what's good about Aberdeen i dont know much about Scottish unis!

no, she declined aberdeen for UCLAN. Tbh, I love Scotland so wouldnt mind going myself I see the appeal
