[naz90]

hey hope i dont sound rude or anything but could I ask why you got rejected coz i'm thinkin ov applyin in 2010

[believer86]

No don't worry about it,i didn't find the question rude. At the end of the day we're all trying to get to the same place. I guess my personal statement just wasn't strong enough...

Is this your first time applying?

[naz90]

Ye i'm hopin of aplying in 2011 but i'm just a bit worried about the selection and stuff because its really competitive, where are u applying to this time?

[believer86]

Well i'm definetly applying to Peninsula that's for sure! I'm actually debating on whether to just apply for Peninsula alone! But if i decide otherwise..Liverpool is a second option and two london uni's but i have yet decided which one's yet.
How come you're not applying for 2010 entry?

[naz90]

because thats the year i graduate hopefully only started my biomed degree last year lol. Can i ask what grades you got and stuff because i'm most likely gonna apply to the same places thinkin of mayb a 5 year one in there too in place ov one ov d london ones

[believer86]

Ahhh..that would make sense lol.Its good you are planning early though- i wish id done the same

I got 10 GCSE'S- 1A*, 7A'S, 2B's
3 A levels BBC-BIOLOGY MATHS CHEM
AND I RECENTLY DID A BIOMED DEGREE AND GOT A 2ND CLASS. Now i'm taking a gap year.

Well best of luck. Where are you doing your degree. I did mine up in Sheffield.

i was told that it might be worthwhile using one of my choices to apply for a 5 year course, because an extra year in the bigger picture is all that much. and if i dont get accepted onto the competitive 4 year this year id still be wasting a year anyhow.. does anyone reckon thats good advice?

[believer86]

Yeah, sounds like a good plan.As you say, an extra year will not make much of a difference in your life. At the end of the day whats more important is that you become qualified and can work thereafter...even if it takes that bit longer. It may even be that that extra year helps further strenghthen your confidence and competency when carrying out dental treatment...who knows..

I think i'll be doing something similar though

hey guys, ill be applying to peninsula for 2010 entry!!! where else is evry1 plannin on applying, and in regards to one of the posters above, a 5 yr course is sometimes a good idea, however, u gtta remember tht most LEA's dnt pay the fees for a second degree, so basically, u wil be liable to pay for 4 yrs at £3k+, whereas on the 4yr, u will pay for yr1 and most of te time the NHS cough up for the rest of it!! but if u dnt mind paying for another 4yrs of uni education its all good!! x
