KCL dentistry

Hello, I want to apply to dentistry at KCL but my stats are well, not amazing. For GCSES I got 9998888888. A levels I got AAB, and I have emailed my school to predict me an A* in chemistry. I did my UCAT and got 2520. Is there even any point in applying?

you need a minimum of A*AA, so unfortunately no, but do apply to other universities that need AAB minimum

Hi, thanks for your reply. I’m resitting chemistry hopefully giving it another shot, would they disregard the predicted A* as well?

I'm kind of in a similar situation, my GCSE's are 999988888 and my ucat is 2910 Band 2 but my teachers are evil and predicted me AAA. I've applied to 3 safe options but I also applied to KCL. Do u think they'll maybe overlook my predicted if the rest of my application is good??
