Dentistry 2010 - Graduate Applicants

[zcbtc10]

I got a C in chemistry a-level too and I'm studing biomedical science. After ringing queen mary about the BB in chem and bio requirement stated on their website, they said that my C in chemistry will be fine because my degree in biomedical science has enough chemical and biological components in it to overide my weak a-level grades.

Where are you applying?

Fair enough, my degree (cell biology) didn't contain enough of a chemistry component to satisfy QMUL's entry requirements.

I recently decided to bail on all the GEP courses as I probably need a refresher on the basics and don't want to miss out on anything so I'm applying to GKT, Bristol, Manchester and Sheffield, really not sure how it's going to pan out. What about you, where are you applying?

Hi sorry about the delayed response, just got back from travelling.
i already have a degree in biomedical science and took UKCAT exam for kings. i did not apply for queen mary in the end and instead applied to liverpool. i also took GAMSAT in a last minute panic to realise that i didnt need to take it!! hope they don't bring that tupid mistake up!! eek!

Hi Sheila, I'm also applying for 2010 entry but not sure if Kings and Queen Mary will accept my 2.2 degree...Are you applying with a degree and have u taken UK CAT???

Hi, Im wondering if anyone can offer me some advice about applying in 2011 for 2012 in dentistry at Peninsula. I am currently finishing a degree in Podiatry (on course for a 2:1) and I am thinking about having work experience with my father who is a dentist over the next 6 months whilst also taking a dental nursing NVQ to add to my degree. I have an access to science qualification also as part of my entry requirements to get onto the podiatry programme.

I figured I would also use other personal statement examples that where successful to help my own when October comes around, and begin revision in June this year for the gamsat or ukat test if it becomes neccessary for entry.

Can anybody tell me if this will be adequate. Or any other helpful pointers which would be really appreciated.
