Dentistry 2016 Entry AS Grades Query HELP

Study really hard this year and do any AS resits if you want to boost your grade up, so you can achieve the best possible A2 grades you can. Then next year take a gap year and apply with your with your achieved A2 grades. You can also do some more work experience or volunteering during your gap year. Good Luck

Im now moving into year 13 in September, cant I get into dentistry with my overall A Level results I get in 2016 ie I retake my AS (just a few marks off A's)? Whats the need of the gap year?

So you want to apply for Dentistry next year with your achieved A2 grades?

As in submit UCAS this year for next year entry

Hi I got Biology A, maths A, physics B and chem C in my AS levels.
ive dropped physics and my school are predicting me AAB (the B is in chem). I am going to do two weeks of work experience this month.
do you think i can still apply to unis to do dentistry.
are there any particular unis that could offer me an interview.

if there isnt a chance then i might just wait until after A2 to apply

thanks

Well at the moment that C in chem is holding you back and might seem unrealistic to unis of you getting an A, bearing in mind you still need to do the ukcat, so im unsure on your behalf!

i think I can bring that C up to an A as I am going to resit
One paper brought my grade down
coulve got a b

I got bccd but hopefully I'll be able to get all a predictions and I'll be applying this year

Im unsure about you being predicted all As unless you can justify those grades. What did you get in the ukcat aswell?

Haven't done it yet but I know I need to get at least 750+ and if I say I had a divorce in my family and a parent got chronic kidney disease that they would understand why

750 is extremely respectable!!! and they should be understanding of that, in circumstances like that you can ask the school if you can retake year 12 if you want to start fresh.

I honestly don't want to resist again feel like units won't look at me and I really want to do dentistry next year
And how do I tell my teachers that's what happend and get them to write it on the reason for my grades

There has been people at my school who have resat year 12, i guess you have to confide in your teachers. But nor can you explain it on ucas so it may seem strange to a university seeing grades change so dramatically.

I went to a dentistry lecture and they said they take into account resitters as they like their straight A students. This is why im put off

Which university does this apply to? And if you take a gap year and apply with the full A2 results, then how do universities know that you re-sat any AS exams? I thought they didn't mind as long as A levels were completed over 2 years and not 3?
