KCL (ESDP) or BARTs for Dentistry

I've received offers from QMUL (AAA) and from KCL's ESDP (AAB). Which university would be the better choice? I live 10 mins from QMUL if that helps you to decide what would be the better option but i don't really mind travelling. Thanks

Either way you will qualify as a Dentist.
The NHS wont care where you trained - and neither will your future patients.

That’s really good! I’m planning to apply to both (in year 12), if you’re comfortable could you share your stats? :smile:

Thanks so much for the reply. Those are impressive results and a very decent ucat👍🏼. If you dont mind me asking, did you have any contextual markers/and or take part in either of their Widening Participation programmes at all? Eg: K+? 😊🙏🏻

Yep I was apart of queen Mary’s bridge the gap programme (hence why I got an AAA offer) and I was also apart of K+.

guys i am acc concerned i got 987777666 for gcses and im in yr 12, the gcse school tht i went to had the attainment score of 33.8 which is the bottom 20% quantiles so does tht mean for kings they will take my As as A* so tht'll be 6 A* which is jus 20 points outta 40 and i have applied for queen mary access programme and K plus since they just opened i havent heard back from them yet which might give me an extra consideration, im jus so stressed
