What is your GCSE B and 5 in?
Unless you can get AAA predicted, you won't meet the A Level requirements for any dental school, unless you are eligible for contextual offers.
If you can get it to AAA and assuming the B and 5 are not in the science/maths/English, you can apply to any dental school except those asking for A*AA (which is KCL, Barts and Plymouth)

I would personally go for king college London, you've got good academics which KCL gives more emphasis than QMUL, plus QMUL have just changed their selection process to rank based on UCAT mainly rather than a weighting given to UCAS tariff points. PS, are you Welsh? Because Cardiff give priority to Welsh applicants, so if you can maybe look for an alternative to Cardiff? Lmk what you decide on in the end.

This is a thread for all prospective dental students and hopeful applicants to post their academic + UCAT stats if unsure or confused about where to apply and want some advice.
