Dear Eliza
Thank you for your email. Please see the table below in answer to
your questions. We have omitted some of the numbers and have expressed
numbers under 5 as <5 as is our policy to avoid the identification of
personal information about individuals. 
We check the Overseas qualifications against Ecctis looking for
equivalences with Highers/A-levels.  A degree in Chemistry is acceptable.
I hope that this helps and please let me know if you have any other
questions. 
Kind regards

1. We are unable to provide the nationalities of the international fee
status graduate applications as these all total less than 5, for which we
are required to suppress the data.
2. Totals for Interviews and Offers have been suppressed (*) to protect
the value of the <5 numbers elsewhere in the table.
3. UCAT scores represent tests undertaken in the academic year immediately
preceding the entry year (including deferred applications).
4. UCAT scores for groups of <5 are not shown.

Dear University of Dundee,

May I ask you:

1. how do you rank the students if they do not have any of the
gcses/highers/ib qualifications? (they may have provided equivalent
qualifications in their country on ucas)

2. How many graduate applicants applied to the BDS A200 dentistry course
in the recent 3 years, and of them, how many are international students?
And if you can, please include the nationalities of the international
applicants.
Among all the graduate applicants, how many were invited for an interview
and how many got an offer? Please provide an excel sheet including their
fee status and ucat scores too.

3. your website states that graduate applicants should have a life science
related degree, I wonder if a degree in chemistry is eligible for applying

Yours faithfully,

eliza
