Ahha u r in a pickle. If I may know ur GCSEs in a whole ?
Okay let’s start gcse resits I would personally say its fine just avoids ones that don’t accept it majority do. Now the problem is that a level resit of bio. Majority and top ones don’t accept a level resits even yr 12 is still considered a resit and u do need good GCSEs. Now there is limited uni for dentistry and I know this cuz I have 2 unis that I fit in for dentistry and only 2 I see is fit out of all and I resitted both GCSEs and a levels. If you could tell me. More about ur academic background I could help u more and do u have AS official exams ?


I’m in the same spot ive got 5 in maths chem and physics studying bio phycolog English. I’m hoping to get high presicted and UCAT and apply for foundation year if I don’t get in I will take gap year resit but idk what to do with my Chemsitey a a level as I don’t do that plzzz give me advice I’ve also heard Manchester dentsitey doesn’t look at have if u apply with achieved a le el grades

dw!!! im sure everything will be okay. dental schools are very holistic and resitting 4 GCSEs is so impressive - shows alot of resilience and commitment. other things like ucat, interviews and ur personal statement matter too so i wouldn’t worry too much about being disadvantaged

though i do remember queen mary saying they don’t accept people in sixth form for over 2 years or something like that. other than that im sure gcse resits are fine. it’s more alevel resists that restrict where u can apply if i remember correctly

the only uni i can think of that doesn’t allow gcse resits is birmingham

Ty for the reassurance! That make me feel sm better, it just that I’ve been asking ai and checking other examples in student room make me felt like my resitting this many would make dental unis feel that I’m struggling first attempt tho I got 6.0 avg point scores.
