Help to get into uni

I study a btec applied science course and I’m predicted D*D*D, I’ve applied to Birmingham, Leeds, Cardiff, kings and queen Mary for dental hygiene and therapy course. I met all the grade requirements yet I’ve been rejected from all. I’m gonna go through ucas extra and im thinking of pharmacy, I don’t mind it but I want to get into a good uni. Could you guys guide me on what I can do or what I should do? I still feel determined to do dental hygiene and therapy but it’s competitive. Any recommendations and information about clearing will be very useful.

Most MPharm courses will require A level Chemistry or at least specific units from a BTEC in Applied Science - check carefully. You might still be able to find spaces at Greenwich, Portsmouth, Huddersfield, DMU etc, so its worth phoning them, but be aware that this in an interviewing course and many courses closed in January.

I’m going to be applying a university of reading or apply for a degree in biomedical science

Hey, I got into University of Manchester 2024 Entry with foundation year at D*D*D. And applied to dental hygiene and therapy but got rejected. So similar position, but pharmacy is heavy chemistry much difficult than medicine. Hence why I am not considering it again.
