Would i be eligible for the a2b scheme ?

My sixth form works in partnership with the uob and someone told me i may be able to apply for the a2b route. I’d like to do dentistry and our household income is under £42,000 because my mum doesn’t work anymore. I also didn’t go to the best school past rate was 55% but managed to get 2 A*s , 5As and 3 Bs. Do u think I would qulaify ? I don’t meet any of the other requirements e.g parents not going to uni because one of mine did and I haven’t come from a troubled background. Any advice would be appreciated.

Am I eligible to apply for the scheme?
To apply for the scheme your sixth form or Year 13 teacher must
first recommend that you have the potential to study successfully
at the University of Birmingham. You also need to meet the
following criteria:

Your parents have no experience of higher education
in the UK or abroad.

The main income earners in your family are not in professional
occupations, eg, not teachers, doctors, solicitors or similar.

Your annual household income is £42,600 or less.

Your home postcode indicates that you live in an area of
disadvantage with low rates of progression to higher education.

You attend a non-selective state school or college which is a
partner in the A2B scheme. If you are in the sixth form at a
selective state school (such as a grammar school) the school
where you did your GCSEs must have achieved less than 49%
A*–C grades at GCSE.

In exceptional cases, if you don’t meet all of these criteria, we will
also take into account any factors which may have disrupted your
education and prevented you from achieving your full potential, for
example if you have been in local authority care for more than three
months or if you have a disability or long-term illness.
