UPDATE: offers, pools and rejections all sent today which is the 9/4. Pooling emails came first and then offers and rejections.

BTW if anyone has any questions I’ll try answer from my experience of applying this year, also have a look at partners it’s got loads of criteria and you need to meet one for grade reductions of BBB!!

Hi there,I'm a graduate in Biological Sciences with a 2:1 and looking to apply to sheffield. I got AAB in A-levels (Maths, Chem, Bio) with a 7 in maths and 5 in english language? Do I have a chance at getting into dentistry? What UCAT score would I need?

Do you mind me asking your A-level, GCSE and UCAT stats?

Apparently Newcastle have changed their weightings and are now scoring GCSE's, is there any official confirmation for this?

I'm not sure but I was a partners applicant last year and got pretty low but still got all the way through lol. I'm pretty sure they can asses on a case by case basis as i went through Partners on medical grounds
