Hey guys, I was just wondering if there’s anyone on tsr that’s done this before. Basically starting a course 1st year but also applying to other courses via ucas during 1st year and then dropping out of their current course to start a new course (if they got the offer). Basically reapplying to the course you wanted to get on while currently undertaking a course in the meantime as a backup and not wasting a year. I really want to do dentistry and I haven’t got in this year so I’m thinking of taking chem eng year 1 and I’ll continue to apply to dentistry this year for 2023 entry. Would love to hear anyones ideas on this/ similar experiences

Don’t start a course that you don’t plan on finishing. That’s the opposite of “not wasting a year”.
Get a health or care related job instead and build up some savings and experience.

Get a relevant gap year job and apply in the autumn for Dentistry.
Just be aware that there may be SF implications - you have already used up a year's funding and Dentistry is another 5 years.
