Icl Plymouth is majority achieved a levels (so you won’t get an edge with a high a level) and they still have a ucat cut off 2023 -2690 and 2024 -2610
Try for kings ESDP, and more do foundation courses because they have usually a lower ucat requirement (Bristol, Plymouth with gap year) etc

okay thank u, unfortunately most dentistry foundation programmes u need to have certain requirements eg mature student, non science a levels, grades lower than ABB so i’m not able to apply to any
