Applying to dentistry with acheived a level grades

Hey guys,

I am in year 12 studying Biology, Chemistry and Geography. I have average GCSE grades, which are low when compared to other people applying to dentistry. If I achieve AAA or higher in my A-Level grades and take a gap year, is it easier to get into dentistry with achieved A-Level grades?

The gap year, with my personal research wouldn't really change much as all it is is time. If you're conscious about your GCSE results, I recommend looking into universities which don't look for much of them. A big tip would be going to universities you may be interested in and asking about the impact those grades may have on your application and potential acceptance. Hope this helped! :smile:
