Want to chuck in 1 extra hour for capitalisation and punctuation theory?
Thread drift.
I applied to the 3 Scottish Dental Schools.
I had 4As and a C. (Maths, 3 sciences at A, English scraped a C)
Glasgow had a 5 year course.
Edinburgh and Dundee had 4 and a half or 5 and a half.
All 3 gave unconditional offers.
Dundee said that I could skip preDental and just do the 4 and a half year course.
Edinburgh said due to the C in English, I would have to do preDental, thus 5 and a half years.
The preDental year was the 3 sciences.
I went to Dundee.
My liver only just survived, an extra year would have been fatal.
