Pharmacy or dental hygiene and therapy

Hi, so im deciding between pharmacy and dental hygiene and therapy.
my alevels are: Sociology(B) chemistry(B) Biology(C) but i am deciding to resit biology and try and get a B or an A
and my GCSES are 7,7,7,7,6,6,6,4,4

i have researched on the grade requirements for both of these courses
and have found out that the avaerage grade requiremnts for pharmacy is AAB but with a foundation year could be BBB whereas the average grade requirements for dental hygiene and therapy is ABB

I am equally passionate about both courses so i only really care about what school would take me .I also dont mind ressiting sociology as well as biology so i just need some advise on what i should do

Hello, I’m in the same position! I’m struggling to choose between them. Are you enjoying pharmacy? I’m so unsure which one to choose as there’s so much negativity towards pharmacy
