How it's scored and how offers are made
- Interview scores create a rank order of candidates.
- Offers go to the highest-ranked candidates.
- Whether you get an offer is decided solely on your interview performance.
- The UCAT SJT may be used to separate candidates with similar interview scores.
- In August, rank order is the main factor for candidates who meet the grades and hold no other dental offer.
