what is the enhanced support? i thought u had to be in a certain criteria for that
- and my school wont remark so its staying as AAA, the thing is i was so set on london so this is a setback for me
my current plan is to apply to unis up north and decide my choices at the end of year 13, if my grades r good i will take a gap year and reapply but to london

Enhanced support is still a 5 year course for dentistry at Kings but it has lower grade req of AAA. But its only if u go to a non-selective state skl in Greater London
Not bad to go for a gap year. My number 1 advice is now focus on getting the grades its the most important thing. 1 year left give it ur all and more
