Dental Mentor Platinum+ Pathway - is it worth it?

Hello!! Im a year 12 student and I’m soo confused on whether I really should apply to the dental mentor. It costs about £3000 and it includes:

Unlimited Zoom appointments with Mentors
5-day Residential to Finish Personal Statements
6 Weeks of Virtual Daily UCAT Lectures
6 Weeks of personalised virtual UCAT tutoring between 11am-6pm Mon-Fri
Access to 2 leading UCAT Questions Banks Included
2 In-person Mock Interview days during interview season
Unlimited 1-2-1 mock interview zoom practise before each medical school interview
Access to a LIVE up-to-date medical school database with entry requirements, weightings and UCAT cut-offs
Guided Mentor Help with Strategically Selecting Dental Schools for UCAS
Automatic Scholarship Applications for Dental School
Automatic Enrolment onto the Medical Leadership Programme
E-learning Suite including wider-reading, ethics, personal statement, interview preparation, UCAT and uni selections
Access to Clearing Support Team on results day
Access to entire Platinum Pathway again, if a student is unsuccessful and wants to reapply
20% off Study Mentor Courses for Biology and Chemistry

Money isn’t necessarily a problem for me but I don’t wanna spend 3k on something that’s not even useful and won’t even help me in my application to Dentistry! Pls helpppp!!!

Schemes like these are a waste of time. Save your money and rely on your own motivation and drive instead.

Thank you! After some research I’ve decided not to buy it.
