Uni?

hey! i have always wanted to study dentistry but got BBC in my alevels this summer, obviously not good enough for it. i already planned on taking a gap year but didn’t expect to do this bad lmao. does anyone know if taking two gap years is bad? it’s not ideal but i thought of resitting (privately as my school won’t allow it) then applying with my new archived grades the following year (as my school are refusing to give me predicted grades), whilst doing a dental nursing apprenticeship in the meantime. i also don’t know whether to do dental therapy then move onto graduate? i’m really stuck on what to do so any advice is much appreciated!

I am in the same position!! I dont think taking 2 gap years is bad especially if you are doing an apprenticeship during them. This year you can apply for Access to Leeds as you only need ABB to do dentistry, your school should predict you that as its only 1 grade higher
