Work your socks off and prove everyone wrong - or look at another course/career.

For Dentistry, probably not.
One grade below would be a stretch, two grades below would be pushing it.

So, you could just focus on getting the best grades you can this year - and apply next year for Dentistry.

hi! i genuinely just actually started revising for my tests and stuff lol 😭 just make sure ur proper preparing for assessments and stuff like that and you’ll be fine :smile:

i think someone already mentioned it but if you can’t gain the predicted grades in time you can always do a gap year
