Birmingham Dentistry 2024 Entry

Original post by Ibbethy

I would say Sheffield is your best bet, KCL do take on people with low UCAT’s but these are almost always contextual applicants and the cutoff for Birmingham this year was higher than your score so it would be very risky.

Hello, I’m planning to apply to Leeds and Birmingham, perhaps Sheffield. My GCSE’s are 9999988877 and ucat is 2710 B2. I’ve also achieved the alevel grades of A*AA and am eligible for contextual offer. Would it be wise to apply to these universities? Quite worried I’d be aspiring for the impossible.

Thank you, I decided to go Sheffield as Birmingham rank on ucat and not really on academics and London was too expensive :smile:

Thank you. I'm considering Liverpool as one of the options but can't decide on the 4th one.

Are you considering Birmingham as we have similar stats and when I researched it said they orders via ucat and the lowest last year was like 2750 or something so I thought it was too risky

Hi, Yes, Birmingham seems risky so I'm more inclined towards Leeds/Sheffield. It's difficult to decide 😕

I live near Birmingham so wanted to go there but they don’t seem to look at predicted grades or gcse only that you have met the required ones. I went for both Sheffield and Leeds but haven’t been to visit either so can’t really help. Have you visited any of the ones you’ve applied to if so what was your opinion. I went to Cardiff and loved it.

I visited Cardiff only and liked it.

Is it true that if i already applied to birmingham last year but got rejected pre-interview I won't be able to apply again? I've tried contacting them but haven't received a response.
