Do I still have a chance at dentistry?

Im a y12 student studying bio, chem & psych and i got 777 in eng lit, RE and history and a 66666 in biology,chemistry, maths,physics and eng lang. I havent sat my mocks yet. I want to apply to kcl,qmul,Bristol and leeds. Ive gotten accepted into a kcl and bristol summer school where i get a contextual offer and i also attend an underperforming state school too. Do you think ill have a chance at beating other applicants?

Hi, as someone who applied for dentistry last year I'd say it all depends on your ucat score because your GCSE's are fine especially since you'll get contextual offers. Probably avoid unis that weigh heavily on GCSEs like Dundee and Cardiff and as long as you score high in ucat you'll have a solid chance

Yes, as above, you shouldn't fully commit yourself to top schools that require top ucat scores unless you actually get that level of ucat score.
You must remember you get the same degree from every school so no matter where you go, you will become a dentist, so in that way no one school is better than another.
Best of luck!
