Has anyone applied for Gateway to Dentistry from Bristol, I need help?

On the website it states: " BBC including B in Biology or Chemistry. Applicants with predicted or achieved grades of AAB or above, or with A in Chemistry, are not eligible for this course."
My actual grades were ABC.
A-Psychology
B-Biology
C-Chemistry
Would this make me eligible to apply to this programme, baring in mind that I do well in the UCAT?

Yes - your grades are fine.
Its a widening participation Year 0 course so the upper grade boundary is there to limit it to people who don't have high enough grades to apply for the 5 year course. Just make sure you meet the eligibility criteria - ie. specific low achieving school.

Yeah my post code fits within the low tax bracket along with my school. I was just worrying that perhaps the A in Psychology might be something they'll reject. So say if I retook chemistry and I got a B, would it still be okay if I had ABB, as long as it's not AAB.

Do you know roughly what the UCAT scores are for dentistry, I know they say they change it each year but just roughly?

"This course is open to applicants from specific schools and colleges in the UK only and/or to those who have spent 3 months or more in care."
The other WP criteria that apply at Bristol (ie. home postcode) do not apply to the Gateway courses.

This thread is TWO YEARS old - you will need to check the current eligibility criteria on Bristol's website.
