Strategic Application Services UK | Medicine & Dentistry Strategy

Strategic Applications

Applying to Medicine or Dentistry is highly competitive — but following Dr Admissions’ unique strategy, you can increase your chances of receiving Interview offers even with a low UCAT score. At Dr Admissions, we specialise in helping students apply strategically. Our Doctor-led approach combines years of experience following medical and dental school admissions trends, using recent and historical data combined with unique insights.

With around 46 medical schools and 18 dental schools in the UK, the application process can be a minefield —applying tactically is crucial to maximise your chances of becoming a doctor or dentist.

Why Strategic Application Matters

Medical and dental schools will shortlist candidates differently. Some rely heavily on the UCAT, others use GCSEs and personal statements or place more emphasis on volunteering experience. Many will use a combination of UCAT and other academic thresholds. Understanding these differences is crucial.

A strategic application matches your strengths with the right universities. This helps you apply with precision.
