Hi there, think you will need to say A levels/predicteds and GCSE scores are to get any insights on which dentist Unis might work for you tbh. On what youve given us - Liverpool as they highly rate their non academic questionnaire giving it 60% weighting so if you have lots of stuff you can talk about for nhs core values then that could work. UCAT still 40 % but you can balance it out. Or if you have amazing GCSE's (all 9's and 8's for top 7) then Cardiff but then they do use UCAT still as a tie breaker, so maybe very risky.

Sorry just realised I hadnt factored in the first in Biomed - so ignore my previous post. Thats amazing and will obvs make so much difference. But I havnt looked at those stats so cannot help Im afraid. Best of luck though. Do Kings still want an A* for graduate entry though?

Crikey you did really well to get any GCSE's. Hopefully that can get factored in on your PS and as extenuating circumstances. I cant help you tho on graduate entry. I'm finding best thing to get an informed answer is to ring admissions team of individual Unis or email the dental department. Best of luck
