Poor UKCAT score and Dentistry dilemma
I want to apply to Sheffield, Liverpool and Manchester university for Dentistry but I got a low UKCAT score with average 615 and a band 3 in the situational judgement aspect. Sheffield and Manchester accept band 1 and 2 so I'm ruling those out but I'm worried I won't get accepted anywhere else. Leeds is an option which require BMAT but all other universities require UKCAT.
Other possibilities are Bristol and Newcastle university.
Would I be at a disadvantage with this rubbish score?

Hey, your UKCAT score isn't that awful so you still stand a chance provided that you choose universities that aren't so UKCAT heavy/don't look at SJT.
If you have good GCSE grades and predictions with an eye-grabbing personal statement then hopefully that should pull up your chances of getting an interview.

Bristol and Newcastle don't look at the situational judgement score as much but I've heard that Newcastle is heavily UKCAT based?

Tbh I'm not sure about universities outside of London so I can't give much advice on specific universities but if you get a list of all the universities that offer dentistry and then visit their websites to see how they rank applicants, that might be of help to you.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help

Thank you! I have considered Cardiff but my parents argue it's too far away.
