My journey to DENTAL school | Why dentistry | I Want To Be A Dentist

HAPPY WEDNESDAY FRIENDS - here is my journey to studying dentistry in the UK and the University of Leeds! I'm currently a fourth year dental student, and I thought since dental applications are approaching, It's a good time to share my experiences and share a few tips!!
My journey to dentistry:
1. Why dentistry - how I came about to knowing it was what I wanted to do
2. How I started my journey - looking up unis and knowing their entry requirements
3. UCAT and BMAT course - I gave myself 4 weeks to revise for both
4. Started my ps - ended up doing roughly 25 drafts
5. Got work experience
6. Revise revise revise for A-levels
I have partnered up with I WANT TO BE A DENTIST, a company that is the number one place for all prospective dental students! They have so many things to offer so go check out their website: www.iwanttobeadentist.com/ I'll be giving out a SPECIAL DISCOUNT CODE SOON SO STAY TUNED
Lots of Love E X

    Hi elena, new subscriber here! I just randomly stumbled across your channel and fell in love! Your content is amazing, and so is your personality. Your videos are ACTUALLY helpful and I really appreciate how you give personal experiences as this is really useful. Just wanted to let you know that I will be emailing over my personal statement in a bit, as soon as you reply to this, for you to take a look at. (i dont have insta so cant DM you). Its really great that you are offering to help as its so daunting! I am currently in year 13 and will be applying for dentistry this year for entry in sep 2021. I have written quite a lot and am struggling to cut it down because I don't want to take out things that are actually needed in the ps- if you could help with this? Aswell as obviously you being an experienced dental student so you could help with any ideas for other things to add and ways to make it stand out. Don't hold back! I would also appreciate you keeping the document private and confidential as its quite personal to me and means a lot. thanks so much xx

    Hi love what was your offer could you tell me the acedemic side of the alevels. I’ve been told that Leeds doesn’t even look at your personal statement and only look at your gcses and Alevels. Would you be able to tell me your a level and gcse grades I’m only in year 13 but I would love to go to Leeds and I’m kinnda stressing
