Love the vid quick question how good would it be to talk about job in retail and how that has improved my skills when dealing with the public, socialising, meeting deadlines and so on?
Sounds fantastic!
Hello, thank you for your great video
Sorry I had a question, I’m an international student and I have got my diploma but unfortunately I don’t have A level degree so is it mandatory to get it for applying to uk dental schools ?
Plz I've gotten ly diplomate Doctorat dentistry but I wnat to specialize is it the same procedure
Do you have to do an EPQ? I have only really become interested in Dentistry recently, but I have lots of extracurricular activities and am on the virtual dental society as a research officer. Many people in my year haven't really started their EPQ, so there's a chance but I want to do UCAT and personal statement this summer (when most students are going to do it) and I am really busy as it is.
Thanks
Josh
no you don't have to do an EPQ - it can help as an extra thing to stand out though - but 100% not a necessity
what kind of interests or hobbies do you recommend? I didn't make it into any summer schools or stuff at my school
just write down what you enjoy doing - and seek clubs/ societies / schemes to join
Hey, I'm applying for a virtual work experience and it has this question: 'Why are you applying for a place on this Dentistry virtual work experience programme?
Please mention any interests, hobbies, part-time work or volunteering that shows why you are interested in our industry and taking part in the programme'. Any ideas on what I can put?
I think you just need to mention some of your interests etc and link them to dentistry and how you want to learn more about the career in order to gain better judgement on your university application
I’v got 2 A levels biology and chemistry A* & A. Can I apply with 2 A levels?
From my understanding you need 3 A-levels - enquire with the universities you plan to apply to first and check online requirements.
i live in Canada but want to study in the UK. Could I just go from high school to dental school right away or do I have to do undergrad?
You can go without undergrad degree - but please ensure you check if your qualifications are accepted by the dental schools.
Please put subtitles also so we can understand easily
There should be english subtitles available I believe but will get this checked
I’m currently doing my GCSEs and I’m on route to getting around 6 7s and 3 6s. Would i have a better chance of getting in if I got higher grades if I wanted to get into a university for dentistry
Read....the....requirmentssssssssss. Read it. Search it up and read it.
Higher grades will be beneficial but you should check your university requirements to see if they would accept you at your current grades!
did you take art to show manual dexterity skills? As I am not very good at art
nope i did not
Actually iam gonna do my GCSE'S but I didn't pick triple science in GCSE's and I wanna be a dentist!! So,can I pick it In A-levels ?
You need to check the entry requirements for your universities!
does kings or manchester or queen mary look at IGCSE score, too?
Yes they do
Hi good info on how to get into dentistry. My daughter currently in yr 11 and would like a career in dentistry. How can she prepare for the ucat test prior to taking the test? Any advice please l would really appreciate it Thanks.
this playlist should cover everything! : ruclips.net/video/ZNpgnpEG0Rg/видео.html
what extra curricular are beneficial?
Sports/Music/Languages/Volunteering/extra reading/ EPQ/ work experience/ Roles at school and sixth form - maybe even start your own society
I did my work experience and volunteering in hospital/medical settings. Is it still possible to use that in my dentistry application?
Yes of course!
Honestly, I would like to take biology chemistry and art. What do you think?
great options - just check that the unis you apply to accept these 3 subjects (just check on art specifically!)
How can I say side hustle in a formal way?
What is your side hustle?
is it a good idea to do physics, maths and biology in order to do dentistry
As long as you do 1-2 sciences your third subject can be anything you like (a few exceptions apply e.g. General studies)
i have leadership skills from primary and secondary school. i am a homeschooled student for alevels. can i still use this on ucas
as long as your alevels are ratified (officially completed) you'll be fine
Can we apply if we take Biology, Chemistry and physics in year12?
if you complete the a-levels that academic year then sure
I would like to do dentist hygienst degree first because getting BDS is very competitive in Uk universities,does this route could help me to do BDS degree after completing dentist hygienst degree ?
If you complete a dental hygiene degree it allows you to have a good undergraduate degree to utilise to apply for postgrad/ undergrad dentistry but will not necessarily make the application any easier than if you did some other BSc.
@Faris Dent thanks for replying. Do you recommend any particular graduation degree from UK which could help me to get into BDS degree in UK please ?
Do you think my ucat of 2520 is too low for queen Mary’s uni london?
It’s hard to tell - they usually have a cutoff at a particular decile each year so i would look at their UCAT cut off and check the national deciles for the UCAT when they come out in September
@@FarisDent I looked at previous years and their cutoff ranged from like 2100-2300
Also where should I check the national deciles? What specific website
They said their cutoff is always 3rd decile
Hey, can you help me find a dental work experience. I am really struggling during what’s going on. I am biology, chemistry and maths yr 12 student
Could you also recommend good books or apps for UCAT
No unfortunately I cannot find you work experience you'll have to source that yourself! It's part of the challenge of applying but good luck!
@@lashantilove6486 Medify is fantastic - I don't think you need any books per say but medify is great to do online practice that is close to the real UCAT
Any tips for dentistry I would love to go into it I’m in yr9 btw
For now just enjoy your GCSEs, find hobbies and join into extra-curriculars you find fun - too early to be thinking of anything else really!
@@FarisDent is chemistry compulsory
@@ziy4dp713 Depends where you apply - most dental schools do require it though yes
@@FarisDent ah shame

Just want your help just plzz help me know will I have a 10% chance of getting in dental school?? Or foundation year?? Thax this vd was help ful... Thax
Hiya - you need to check the universities policy on GCSE retakes . Also , if you achieve the grades you stated you will have a very good chance of an interview - but please do check the entry requirements of each university and look at their policy with retakes!
@@FarisDent thanks u so much for reply ye I am trying my best to achieve those grades plus i emailed Manchester University they re said unless j get those grades we will be OK with it so hope I have chances and most uni just care about A levels more than gcse so thank u so much!!
Hi I wanna ask some questions. Firstly I’m gonna study BSc Dental Technology this year is this a good background for the Dental School? Also what clubs would you say are the best for me to join in Uni so that I can make my Personal Statement stronger? thanks
Hiya - I don’t quite understand what you mean by a ‘good background for dental school’ - are you going to apply to dentistry as a post grad? - dm me on insta so we can discuss this more (@farisdent link in description)
Faris Dent Done!
when u say clubs - can it be sports?]
Yes 👍
would the medic mentor clubs count
Not aware of this club personally!
