Resitting + Dentistry - Feasibility & Advice?

Hi All,

I did Psych, Bio and Chem and achieved : A*,A,B respectively. I intend to resit chemistry and hope to achieve an A/A*

In terms of applying to dentistry, I'm essentially a grade off with the chemistry. Which universities would I have most luck with applying as a resit student?

I had a look at things like the Partner's Programme at Newcastle but have been struggling to see whether I'd be eligible as someone who has completed their a-levels. As a "disadvantaged" student (eligible postcode, parents haven't attended university, BAME student) are there any other programmes I qualify for?

I think this is an important thing to note: This would be my first time applying to university, I didn't apply in Yr 13. Would that affect my chances in anyway or discredit my seriousness for the course as a candidate?

I have done some work experience at a dental practice, and will be working as a gap year tutor which I will include in my personal statement, and am looking to secure more work experience in my gap year. Are there any key things I should include in my personal statement?

I appreciate your response
