Anyone got an interview for Oral Health sciences in Scotland?

I am a dental nurse with a lot of experience but i am getting concerned I haven’t heard anything yet not even a rejection. I applied for Glasgow, UHI and Dundee. I didn’t initially expect to hear anything till after 29th of January so just wanted to check if anybody had heard anything.

Hello! I've applied for UHI and Dundee and haven't heard either 😊 I'm a dental nurse also. I applied for UHI last year and didn't hear until Feb 😊

Thank you! I heard on Friday, when did you apply?
I know UHI do it in batches as last year I applied on the deadline and was offered in Feb i think. I know how hard but try not to worry they can take ages!
I nearly applied for Glasgow too but decided that it was too far for me

Ah I've applied to Dundee too 😊 good luck!
I have achieved them all plus I'm a mature student. What about you?

i’m 27 and i’ve sat higher english last year and got an A and i’m currently sitting higher human bio and psychology this year. i’ve heard from dundee at the open day that your highers should be at least in the last 5 years and i think they said 3 for biology? i was surprised because i couldn’t find that information anywhere online. so i had to pay privately to do my highers (ouch), do you think being a mature student and a dental nurse with experience serves us well? where are you based?

Oh that's interesting thanks. Yeah I've got higher human bio and English. I also had to pay privately however it should be worth it in the end.
Erm yes and no to be honest. For experience side of things yes definitely but I know alot of people who have had no experience and have got a place so I really think it depends
