Newcastle University UCAT cutoff DENTISTRY any guesses for 2025?

I have ucat score 2220 Band 1. Just wondering if likely to get interview at newcastle as their ucat cut off score seems to have increased quite dramatically year on year over past few years. On last Years cut off score of 2800 I think I would have got in but if it goes up by 120 points again then its unlikely. Is it worth the risk? My other option is Cardiff but my GCSE's only give me 26 points and I think they prioritise GCSE's so thats also a risk. Those anre my dilemna choices as lots of other Unis ruled out because of GCSE results in English language 6 and Biology 7. Rest of my GCSE's 9888877. Bummer. Didnt realise when I sat my GCSE's how important those 2 results would be! Wasnt thinking dentistry at that point. Any advice between Cardiff or Newcastle and which more likely welcome.

Hi
I suggest Newcastle because Cardiff gives places to Welsh applicants. Your UCAT is great, and they do not use GCSE unlike Cardiff for interview consideration
