2050 Band 3 for 2026 application

Hi is this score good enough to get into dental schools? I think this is 6th decile and my band is not that great so i’m worried.

I got AAA in a levels and 999999999886 (6 in english lang) for gcse’s.

2050 is a respectable score and I'm sure there are dental schools who would accept it. The band 3 could be more of an issue. Are those alevel grades predicted or achieved?

Look at Plymouth and Cardiff. They don't use SJT and their cut off will likely be safe for your score

Hi thank you for your response. Yes I will be applying to Plymouth and Cardiff, and Leeds (contextually) but do you think it would be a good idea to apply to Manchester or KCL, I feel like it’s a bit of a stretch but they’re both my dream uni’s so yeah please lmk 🙂

Pretty sure Manchester have said this year they won't be considering Band 3 applicants
