Low ucat - dentistry?

2430 band 1. Predicted 2:1 in biomedical sciences. Where can I apply?
Not fussed if graduate or undergrad.

Had a look online - is it easier to get into med with a low ucat than dentistry?

Had been using Medify and scoring okay so now unsure of my next steps :frown:

med and dent are both very different. but if you're in debate between both i would say purely based on ucat, apply to med because cut-offs are lower in comparison to dentistry.
but dentistry and med are soo different pls think about the reason why you want to apply to either?

Dentistryyyy

Original post by rash-glue

Ideally, I wish to pursue dentistry but my low ucat score has me questioning whether it is the right choice for me.

I know both med and dentistry are different (I have shadowing experience in both) but after looking into low ucat universities I noticed the cut offs are lower for med than dentistry. Therefore I think it would be sensible to explore all my options and be realistic.

Hope that explains my reasoning a bit better ◡̈.
