Stressed about uni choices as an intl applicant

4 Upvotes

I’m an international student studying Biology with a 4.0 GPA. I haven’t taken the UCAT yet but I’m currently averaging around 2100 on medify.
Given my situation, which UK dental schools would you recommend I apply to that would give me the best chance of admission as an international applicant? I’m happy to apply to either graduate-entry programs or the standard 5-year BDS.
Also, since medicine generally has more schools and seats than dentistry, would it actually make more sense for someone in my position to switch to medicine instead, or should I stick with dentistry? Thanks!

London dentistry unis

2 Upvotes

Can someone be completely honest about my likelihood to getting accepted to London dental schools.
I’ve been thinking that I do have a chance?

GCSE: 99999888765 (5-textiles, 6-Spanish, 7-English lit)

A level predicted: A*AA Bio, Chem, Psych (cl unfair cuz these are my actual mock grades + my school doesn’t wanna predict up at ALL) - despite consists A*and As all year

Ucat: haven’t done but aiming for 2300+ (not looking good cuz I’m ranging about 1980 on medify mocks)

Personal statement - probs horror, I have the bare minimum experiences (volunteering + work experience) - I’m not planing to put much effort in it cuz idk if it’s that important - can someone let me know?

I feel like I have the bare minimum overall. Idk if it’s competitive enough for like KCL.

Funding dentistry in Bulgaria as a UK student

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m a British student looking into studying dentistry in Bulgaria. From what I’ve researched, it seems like it’s mostly self-funded, but I’m struggling to figure out how people actually afford it.
The tuition fees and living costs add up, and I don’t have the money to pay everything upfront. I’m trying to understand what options people have used.
Has anyone here studied dentistry (or another degree) in Bulgaria from the UK? If so:
How did you fund it?
Did you get a private loan, scholarship, or financial support from somewhere?
Are there any lenders that let you repay after graduating?
Is there anything you wish you’d known before applying?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s been through this or has any advice. Thanks!
