Thanks for your replies!
Well to be honest, I don't have any experience in healthcare/medical. I have been working in the music industry since I was 20, but have become incredibly bored of it, and feel that Dentistry would be ideal for someone like me who has a passion for learning, especially bio-science.
I am going to look into the work experience soon. There are a few dental practices within walking distance from me, and I will have to use all my holiday from work!
Yeah, I thought perhaps that 3 A levels within 5 months may be a bit optimistic. I think I will just have to aim for June 2011. I will be 32 by then (as my birthday is in June), but I am still hopeful of gaining entry to a dental school. Hopefully, the fact that I woul have done my A-Levels from home wil look good on my application, though I may have to redo my GCSE's, as they were done when I was 16 (and my results were a bit rubbish).
Once again, thanks for your responses!
Anthony
