I need some advice for what 5th choice to apply for. My dental application is due by today as this is my school deadline. I was thinking of applying for one that lets me transfer to dentistry midway as in the interview I can say that my focus was for dentistry so I am doing all I could to do it. I live near Birmingham so would prefer unis near here. Is there any courses you suggest that I should pick. Tbh I would take a gap year over doing it if I didn’t get any offers but I am putting it down so I can go through for ucas extra if needed. What course would be a good one to pick as I have got a UCAT of 2780 b3 8 9s 2 8s and 3 predicted A*. I am applying for Birmingham Cardiff Liverpool and Plymouth so hopefully it doesn’t come to it.

Same, interview from Dundee so far only.

Anyone heard back yet from Plymouth? Do they send their interviews in batches or all at once?

I haven't heard back from Plymouth yet, although just like yourself I did do a Dundee dentistry interview which I did last week.

Nice! I haven't done the Dundee interview yet but good to hear you did well. I think Plymouth will get back to us soon considering they're responding to med students. The cut off seems to be higher than last year for med - from 2610 to 2680. I'm really hoping dentistry doesn't go from 2510 to ... (well anymore). I'm only 2540. Good luck guys.
