Dentistry entry requirements undegrad

I got 2010 band 3 in the UCAT
My gcses are 988888888877
I have done work experience for 2 weeks at a nhs dental practice. and i am currently trying to do some online work experience
I study the Ib so i am predicted 37 with 666 higher bio chem and economics

My choices are below: (1- being my top choice)
1. Liverpool
2. Newcastle
3. Leeds
4. Sheffield
5. Birmingham (dental therapy and hygiene)

Do you think it is worth applying to london unis, due to my sjt score or no? I also qualify for contextual and widening participation so is it worth trying or no? Also would you recommend dental therapy and hygiene as a 5th choice?

I would recommend taking out Newcastle and Sheffield tbh if you want to be strategic. Sheffield won't consider u with b3. Newcastle contextual cut off last year was 2770 ~~2050 this year which you don't make. Whilst it may lower it so highly risky (esp since Liverpool and Leeds have very low post int success rates anyway). I highly recommend looking at QUB and Cardiff (they weigh GCSEs heavily and yours are amazing)

are you Scottish? If so then definitely yes. And I would also put Dundee down if Scottish. If no, then probably not (cut off last year was around 2050)

I honestly would've recommended Cardiff because your GCSEs are good haha. Uhh Plymouth would be good choice with your UCAT
