Leeds Dentistry 2025 Entry

Hi all
My son got his A levels this August with A*A*A in chemistry math and biology respectively. His UCAT score is 2960 band 2. GCSE are 2 x 9 3 x 8 ,4 x 7 and 1 x 6. He was rejected last year before interview but now achieved grades and top UCAT.
What are his chances for Leeds

What was the feedback they gave regarding the reasoning behind his rejection last year if you don't mind me asking??? I may be able to help

Hi
He was rejected via UCAS without explanation. We knew it was far fetch to get an interview with UCAT 2480. We are now pleased he turned things round with achieved grades and 2960 band 2.

What did he get in his GCSEs and his predicted grades last year as well? May be another reason he was rejected

I got Band 3, am I cooked?

Done some research Leeds don’t look at SJT

Where did you find this info cause i am struggling finding it

Dw, the 'research' this dude has done is false. Leeds have said nothing regarding the UCAT at all so we have no idea about the SJT itself. It's most likely he's heard from somebody else

In a freedom of information request they said they don’t look at sjt, but apparently in an email they said they use UCAT score+sjt, so who knows what to believe, just wait for either an interview or rejection, it’s too late to change option now anyway. This is coming from sm1 with a b3 so yes I’m scared

If they said they use SJT+Score in an email then that's the most likely, Unis are very cautious to say the correct things when writing to you because if they ever say anything wrong it can fall back on them. Don't worry about your banding, Leeds are very new to this whole UCAT business as well so you're more likely to hope for an interview than expect to be rejected
