International applicant-

Members don't see this ad.

So I decided to apply for dentistry abroad after getting rejection from all UK universities. I gather I have to do 4 years bachelor degree to obtain GPA and also need to do a DAT test.

Wondered what degree is acceptable or ,say, recommended to do? I emailed a few uni and the ones emailed me back were saying you can do any degree you want but then surely pre-dental student doing some particular degree!
Also any general advice would be appreciated! 🙄

You can do whichever degree you would like to, but make sure that it is a subject you will excel at since you need the highest grades possible. You will also need to complete some specific coursework (biology, chemistry, etc.) to get into dental school, much the same way a hopeful medical student will take pre-medical courses to satisfy their med school requirements. You will also need to take the DAT. I hope that helps!
