Choosing Your 5th Course Choice
Example courses:
- Biomedical Engineering
- Dental Hygiene
- Optometry
- Pharmacy
- Therapeutic Radiography
- Oral Health.
As Medicine and Dentistry are so competitive, you can only apply for four of these courses - your 5th choice must be something different. It’s common for applicants to receive four rejections, so choose a 5th course you’d genuinely be happy to study.
