and leeds because it’s their first year doing the ucat so no data to go on

For the foundation year courses e.g. at Bristol/Leeds aren’t the UCAT requirements the same even without foundation year? I thought only the A Level grades required changes?

Also going abroad is always an option. For example I know someone going to Valencia for dentistry.

Hi I am actually resitting my A-Levels this year pursuing Biomedicine/Biological Science at Durham/Bath/Exeter/Bristol potentially. I plan to reapply to Dentistry as a graduate most likely to UCLAN, KCL and Aberdeen most likely. How about you?😄

Hi @victoriaaa,

I can see that you are interested in studying dentistry here at UCLan. Do let me know if you have any questions about our courses or university and I'd be happy to help 😊

Wishing you all the best for your A-levels this year!
Sarah
