What should I do for university?

I’m taking Biology, Chemistry and Psychology, originally wanting to be a dentist, but after a meeting with my head of year he said I am incapable of being accepted to any universities. and my GCSE Grades are a 6-6 in science, a 6 in maths, and a 7-8 in english language and literature. After doing some courses, I figured dentistry isn’t for me. I don’t want to apply for something that I won’t enjoy and something that I won’t even get into uni to in the first place.

I’ve decided I want to do something psychology related, possibly with biology and psychology, but I don’t know any jobs that involve both biology and psychology which pay well and that I won’t have to do the UCAT. Realistically, I don’t know how to revise for the UCAT but i’m 100% sure i won’t do well. I will do it if i have to. Please help me, i’m desperate.

Those GCSES are not too low assuming you do good at A levels and get a decent UCAT. But if you don’t think you’ll enjoy pursuing it, then for sure look at something. Maybe something biology research related?
