hiya i think liverpool is a good one to apply to - my friend got interview last year w 2600 b2. i also would’ve said cardiff but i got rejected by them pre int despite A*A*A, 2710 b1, 9 9s & 2 8s gcse…this may be an anomaly though so do more research online abt cardiff applicants :smile:

Well I didnt had impressive grades leeds, bristol, Manchester they all rejected me but surprisingly kings did an interview and I got in. I was really shocked clearly they take interviews seriously so make sure you are fully prepared for it also make sure to research about the roles: dental hygienist, dental therapists and dental nurses.

Hiya, great to hear you're keen to be a dentist! Although I don't study this course, I've heard great things from dentistry students studying at Plymouth, and if you're interested in the university and need any questions answering, I'm a current student so more than happy to help 👋

You can find entry requirements here and you can take a look around on an upcoming open day by booking a space here, which is the best chance to get answers to your questions, check out facilities, and take a tour of the city and campus.

Best of luck with your studies! 😄
