My backup is a Diploma of Health Science.
The almighty backup plan is to go into that (hopefully) and reapply next year for Dentistry :(

I dont like my chances one bit >.>

Fairly decent OP though since JCU allowed an OP of 12 last year -.-

Are you moving interstate? Or do you live here already?

Well,
Good luck buddy :)
I do hope you get in, I mean. You're doing Oral Health already, so your head and shoulders above everyone else that I know :)

Thanks alot and the same to you.
OH is pretty good but I know I want Dent now from the experience I've had this year.
My app i feel was fairly decent with several dentists reading and critiquing it, but i feel my lack of rural experience is gonna bite me.

From the best of my knowledge.
I think myself and two others are applying.

EDIT: I'd say approx 5 to be safe.

oh true. I ended up getting a mediocre gpa of 5.83. I read somewhere that there's currently 15-17 non standards in the second year cohort. Looks like there's gonna be alot less this year.

Anywayz best of luck guys.....

If there is about 15-17 in second year then we can assume approx 20 places as the cohort rose to 66 this year. (Due to their new Dental building)

Hey everyone,

Phone calls will be made on the 24th Dec by the Dean (Head of School) himself for those that are successful.
If you miss the call, don't worry you will be notified by QTAC.


P.S All applications are read by the Dean himself and not a panel. Hence this is why it takes so long.

What's the dean's name? Does he/she have a website? Thanks.

Head – Professor Richard Murray <----this?
