Dentistry low UCAT

Look into Cardiff, QUB, (if you have high GCSES) then Dundee, Plymouth and maybe risk Leeds as this is the first time they are using UCAT and those with higher scores most likely won’t apply as they have a better chance at Bristol etc

Thank you! Im thinking of trying leeds, then dundee, cardiff and liverpool. Does plymouth have a cut off score?

Hey dont put cardiff! They use a scoring system that is not that good. So they score the gcses as 28 points and then they use the attached doc for the ucat and SJT. Their cutoff last year was 35 or 36.
I got 2520 band 2 and I got 33 points. You get 34 I think if you get 28 points for your gcses. I will not apply either.
Maybe consider belfast as your fourth option as plymouth has a cutoff of 2650 I think.

For my gcses I have 999998877, do you think that would give me enough points for cardiff?

You will get 28 points (max) for gcses and then you will get 2 points for the ucat and 4 (max) for sjt. So overall you will get 34 points. Cutoff was 35-36 last year. It might go up this year.

Ah ok, I think they use a scoring system for Queens Belfast too so I’ll have to look into it. Thank you for your help!

Hi where did you find out the scoring system for Dentistry at Cardiff?

Someone on the medology (a website helping for dentistry applications) shared it.
I tried to ask cardiff in a foi but they didnt reply yet.

Hi, is there a link to that document?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Have you checked the Leeds thread? The general consensus is that its very risky as the course is fairly popular (due to reserch opportunities and facilities) and the scoring is unkown...
