Best universities
I'm currently a year 12 student and I want to pursue dentistry, however I don't know what universities I could apply to. Can any one of you give me advice on which one would be the best options to go to, to study dentistry.

Okay as far I am aware u can apply to 3 KCL Plymouth and Bristol if u have a 7 in maths for Bristol . U need 6As for Sheffield so maybe retake one more . and those r good option.
Okay so ur talking about Jan mocks but you do have AS official exams in may? Do you know if your school will use them for ur ucas predicted grade ?

They will use the AS I will do in May, to be specific I got 9s and 8s for bio chem and maths (more stem) and I got like 6s and 7s for humanities and English

Do those universities like it when I do a lot of hobbies more than UCAT and work experience because I still haven't found good work experience (shadowing) yet

None do really ucat always come first and one of my cousins got into Cambridge with 0 work experience but he got three a stars which makes sense cuz Cambridge looks more to a levels and ucat than anything else GCSEs r considered by schools progress . He also stated that in the interview they were all science Qs but always work expense is encouraged.
However u will be required to talk about and show something in ur personal statement for all uni interview so yh but it is not an admission requirement. I do know out of the unis I mention KCL is very strict on this

Have a look at the following article which summarises the entry requirements for each uni:
https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/university/courses/dentistry/dentistry-entry-requirements
To make your application as strong as possible you will need public-facing work experience and shadowing experience. For work experience, consider volunteering in a care home, special needs school, charity shop, etc. Also any part-time job you might have in a cafe, supermarket, etc. will show that you can deal with the general public.
If you can show what transferable skills you have gained from your hobbies, then it is fine to include them in your personal statement. For example, if you have gained leadership skills from a sports team or manual dexterity from playing an instrument or from knitting. Don't just list hobbies - you need to explain what you have gained from them that are relevant to dentistry.
I recommend that you read and follow the thread for this year's applicants:
