Do I have a chance at getting into dentistry
I’ve decided to take a gap year after all dentistry rejections, I’m starting to think that I can’t get into any dental school with my qualifications

Alevels CCC bio chem maths , A arabic
2:1 degree in clinical dental technology with 2 years of experience working in a dental clinic.

I don’t want to waste another year if my chances are extremely low.

Hi I was looking into starting pharmacy as I don’t feel confident for dentistry either but I would say put your all into it and you will defined have a shot. You have some good qualifications and your pharmacy dispensing is good clinical experienc. May I ask why you are not pursuing pharmacy? I was hoping to do it this year so please let me know. Is it a saturated field? Is there little job progression? Or was it simply not for you?
