Dentistry at Kings/ KCL

my grades are A* in maths, A in chemistry, and a B in Psychology. I'm retaking Psychology and have been predicted an A*. As I don't take Biology is limited to the number of universities I can apply to. on top of that, I got a low UCAT score of 2450 and band 1 SJT. Do you think it possible for me to get into Kings Dentistry? And also, is anyone aware of how they chose candidates for interviews?

Taken from the kcl website: A-level (or equivalent) grade A in Biology or Chemistry, in addition to grade A in one of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics or Psychology. https://www.kcl.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/dentistry-bds
You do meet the A-level subject requirements but unfortunately, 2450 is too low for KCL. Foi on similar UCAT scores can be found here

Double check the subject requirements for less UCAT heavy universities such as Plymouth, Liverpool, QUB and Leeds (BMAT).
