as of writing this, the ucas deadline for early entry is 4 days away. having taken a lot of thought, i still don't know what course to choose.. with some context, i do maths, chemistry and computer science a level. i am predicted 3 A*s and got all 9's at gcse (but a 7 in biology)..
currently, i have written a personal statement for dentistry, as it is one of the courses i can see myself sort of doing, but i'm scared i am not going to enjoy it.. for example, i was doing biology a-level at the start of the year 12 but dropped it for computer science because i did not find it engaging. because i don't do biology alevel, i can only apply to 3 dental schools (of standard duration) and 2 requiring prelim year. moreover, i also sat the ucat last minute and managed to scrape an average score.
on the other hand, i have always wanted to study at prestigious uni like oxbridge.. i am still considering choosing chemistry at oxford or imperial, but i'm not confident with this option as employment is not as secure as dentistry, and i feel i might just infatuated by the idea of studying at a top uni. for sure, i enjoy chemistry much more than i do biology.
if you don't think i should pursue dentistry as i was not interested in biology a level do you think it is worth the time? i don't wanna dedicate myself to a course i will not enjoy.
anyone studying dentistry or anyone with some insight, if you see this, please send some advice..
hoping my mind is clear by oct 14
