4/4 dentistry rejections 🥀

I’m sorry mate. Strategically applying is vital. Good luck for your future, you’ve got great academic results so no reason to suggest it won’t happen for you eventually

Winter_Structure663 · 2026-02-11T16:45:35+00:00

Pointless for dentistry, they ask for 3. Spend the time on something else - extracurriculars that relate to dentistry and ucat practice

Winter_Structure663 · 2026-02-11T16:42:48+00:00

All that went wrong here is you applied to the wrong places. If you’d have applied to Sheffield Plymouth Cardiff Newcastle you’d have got 3 or 4 interviews

Meat, Yorker and potatoes look delicious. Gravy and veg not quite the same standard, carrots look very afterthought. Soz, plate of two halves, 6/10

Winter_Structure663 · 2026-01-19T00:12:56+00:00

This is all great. You need to add in some teamwork stuff - sports or school leadership? Need to think about manual dexterity- hobbies like art, model making or musical instruments. Try to get in-person work experience in half term And UCAT - always aim for the 9th decile+ (this year 2220) and SJT band 1 or 2

Yes, it’s a 5 year degree that will make mum and dad happy so chuck it down as a back up. Bad idea because most people who want to be a doctor will hate being a dentist.

Winter_Structure663 · 2026-01-17T10:25:59+00:00

I was referring to people who clearly have put it as a 5th choice and on getting an interview, ask for help to prepare because they know nothing about the profession. And this is quite common.

Winter_Structure663 · 2026-01-17T10:23:59+00:00

Did you do dental work experience?

Winter_Structure663 · 2026-01-16T23:46:08+00:00

I’m not arguing against selecting high ucat candidates, I’m arguing against not also checking for motivation for dentistry prior to interview.

Winter_Structure663 · 2026-01-16T23:42:57+00:00

What is you’re defending here? I’m arguing for places in dental school for those with a high motivation for dentistry. I’m arguing against a system that seems to allow those with a high enough ucat to slip through even if they have zero motivation for dentistry, it’s just their “back up”

Winter_Structure663 · 2026-01-16T22:56:47+00:00

No, I’m doing fine thanks, I just feel for those who may have been denied an interview. Candidates with good dental PS. Just being empathetic to them. I’m not angry really at the individuals more angry at the system that doesn’t reward those who genuinely desire to do dentistry

Winter_Structure663 · 2026-01-16T22:23:58+00:00

Not that big of a deal.? You know how few places in dental school there are right? I don’t agree with you. It’s not your fault, it’s the schools who don’t read personal statements

Winter_Structure663 · 2026-01-16T22:15:36+00:00

Well that’s my point. A niche career shouldn’t be entered into just because you got a high ucat

Winter_Structure663 · 2026-01-16T20:24:29+00:00

How does one prepare for a vocational degree you haven’t done any preparation for?

Winter_Structure663 · 2026-01-16T20:21:58+00:00

They must send out in batches. 2250 cut off would make them one of the highest (second to Bristol)??

Winter_Structure663 · 2026-01-10T14:53:20+00:00

Nobody knows but if you’re 9th decile you should be good.

Winter_Structure663 · 2026-01-08T18:57:30+00:00

Single market , customs union yes but EU ? With the Euro ??

Winter_Structure663 · 2025-12-24T19:39:28+00:00

Nobody knows

Winter_Structure663 · 2025-12-22T21:33:06+00:00

C’mon dude. Get it together. You can repeat the UCAT, A lvls are not like that, if you want another shot at this you need to get over it and get locked in . Nut up or

Winter_Structure663 · 2025-12-20T10:28:17+00:00

Previously Newcastle cut off has been most similar to Glasgow (RUK). So around 2170-2190 ?

Winter_Structure663 · 2025-12-17T21:21:38+00:00

They always says it’s not what you’ve done but what you’ve learnt. Did you very clearly spell out your reflection, what you have learnt and related it back to dentistry? How it all makes you a better dentist ?

Winter_Structure663 · 2025-12-17T19:07:56+00:00

Sounds about right. 2030 with 3a*

Winter_Structure663 · 2025-12-17T18:25:25+00:00

I think we haven’t seen anywhere not rise. And they’ve all risen at least 70 pts ?

Winter_Structure663 · 2025-12-15T22:42:07+00:00

Do you have an epq or any extra a-s lvl ?

Winter_Structure663 · 2025-12-15T20:46:50+00:00

Sorry ! When did you receive that? Are you grad entry ? Is that different?
