I got 2790 and band 3 in the UCATAt GCSES I got 99999999888I am currently predicted 666 in my highers (but that will probably be higher when I get back to school)And I really want to dentistry but I know with my UCAT score this may not be possible, are there any univerisites that offer dentistry that I could apply to where I would have a good chance of an interview or should I just stick with medicine, and if so would unis like nottingham, leicester and birmingham take me for medicine?

I am going into year 12 and I am not sure what to pick for my third alevel. I want to apply to birmingham university for dentistry. I am confused between: AQA physics. Maths edexcel. AQA psychology. If I pick psychology for my third choice, will maths or physics students be preffered over me ? Which is easier to get a high grade in physics or maths?

My daughter did Psychology as her third A level and has just started dental school. Pick something you can get an A in !
