as an aspirational absolutely. Whilst averages and deciles have gone up bear in mind in large part it is due to higher interest for international (I suspect less are interested in US now due to political
Situation there so more are looking at UK as viable options. The international highly inflate scores and remember dent apppicants perform much worse than med

Hii!
Scottish (home) student who applied to both Glasgow and Dundee for dentistry 2026. Any other Scots here?
So nervous for when they send interview dates

Not scottish but wasnt planning to start interview prep until I actually get an invite to interview (or during xmas hols just in case) as at the moment not feeling confident will even get any interviews and dont want to spend loads of time prepping if its not gaonna happen as that would just be so depressing! 🤣😳🙃

Thanks for the advice. Just bogged down with school work atm so was going to leave interview prep until xmas holidays as assuming interviews wouldn't be until January earliest anyways? Not expecting to hear about potential interviews until Mid december earliest? Is that timeline about right? Thought most interviews from Jan-March sort of timescale?

You will get 26 points for your GCSE's and 1 point per A level until you reach 28 max points. They only score your top 7 A levels which must include science ones. That is the first cut then if they are oversubscribed and have too many people at the max points they will use UCAT as a decider. My GCSE's added up to 26 points but have no extra points from A levels nor contextual nor being welsh so decided too risky an option for me. I think worth the risk for you though as your A levels in hand give you a bump on the points.

if i got 7s in physics and chem, but 99998888877 at gcse, would they give me full points or not?
