OP, what are your predicted grades? Have you sat the UCAT? Are you in year 12 or 13?

I plan to take a gap year so I haven't done the ukcat. I'm in yr 12 going to year 13. My predictions are BBB

If you’re not applying this year and those are predictions rather than achieved grades then there isn’t really any point planning around them.

Standard dentistry requirements are AAA or A*AA. Some contextual offers are lower. Why not be optimistic and work hard, aiming for these grades rather than BBB - then you won’t have this problem to think about.
