Do I have a chance [applying for Dentistry]

I'm currently takin a gap year because I was unable to get onto Dentistry last year. I got grades AAB in Maths, Biology and Chemistry unfortunatley the B was in Chemistry. If I reapply what are the chances I get in next year, and any tips on which universities I should apply.

Don't think you will, but i hear the key is perfect grades (retake!) and tonnes of work experience.

"the definition of insanity is to attempt something with the same set of ceircumstances and expect a different result." Either adjust your approach or do everything in your power during your gap year to enhance your application..

OP

Im not so sure because Ive emailed all the universities asking them if they would accpet me, the ones that have got back said no- Birmingham, Liverpool, Dundee, Bristol and Glasgow have all said that they wouldn't even consider me even if I pulled the Chemistry up to an A and got loads of experience.

Just so you know (because apparently you didn't notice it last time), I'm moving this over to the dentistry forum. Please don't create another thread.
