Dear Queen's University Belfast,

I am writing to obtain some statistics on your A-level entry BDS course. Please can you compile a document of the following information from the past 3 application cycles (2024, 2023, 2022 entry):
-Number of applications, number of interviews and number of offers given out (per year)

-Lowest, Highest and average UCAT scores of those invited to interviews, not including widening participation or contextual applicants (per year)

-Lowest, Highest and average A-levels of those invited to interviews, not including widening participation or contextual applicants (per year)

-What does the selection process consist of and how are GCSEs, UCAT scores, A-levels, personal statements etc, weighed

-Is higher priority given to local applicants

-Also, are A-level resits accepted and if so, are there any restrictions - e.g. a particular grade must be achieved in the first sitting or a particular grade must be achieved in the second sitting or only a set number of subjects resat will be accepted etc.

For some context, I have already obtained my A-level resit grades and hope to apply for Dentistry BDS this UCAS cycle.
Thank you in advance for the help and I hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards,
Fiona Hyseni
