SUMMER SCHOOL

We teach students how to become good dentists
Welcome to the Summer School Family! The Dental Mentor Summer School is taught by our Chief Mentors (qualified dentists with years of admissions experience) and our Scholars (exceptional medical students from all over the UK). Our UCAS-focussed summer school is unlike any other because the programme extends far beyond the 5 day residential course. There is a huge amount of mentoring and support before and after the Summer School to help boost your confidence, knowledge and interview preparation.
COVID-19 Notice: Summer Schools are still running in person this year. Medical Schools still expect students to sit the entrance exams and submit applications on the usual October 15th UCAS deadline. We will be implementing social distancing measures throughout the week. We know how important the support is to students, especially this year with school closures and all of the uncertainty, therefore, we will take as many precautions as needed to ensure that it is run safely and effectively.

Personal Statements
Koby and Laura attended the summer school in 2019 and have each obtained 4 offers. Koby is a 1st year at Cambridge and Laura is a 1st year at Oxford. They discuss the importance of personal statements and the impact that summer school has had on the success of their applications.
UCAT & BMAT Preparation
We provide 4 weeks of virtual UCAT and BMAT teaching throughout the summer. All summer school students meet fo 1 hour each day with our UCAT and BMAT Scholars (these are successful medical and dental students, who scored highly with us the previous year) and they go through difficult questions and provide tips. Meeting every day helps all of our students to stay motivated during their summer revision. This has proven to be a highly effective UCAT and BMAT study group, with many students obtaining top scores.
We also record all of our sessions and provide UCAT and BMAT e-learning courses prior to the summer school programme.
In addition to this, Summer School students are given access to UCAT and BMAT question banks. We select the best question banks from a huge selection of banks each year. The central committee undertake a review in May, which includes feedback from previous summer school students. This ensures that students have the best resources and teaching to prepare them for the entrance exams.
