My daughter (Year 11) has decided that she would like to pursue a career in dentistry. We are at the very start of researching what steps she needs to take next but thought I would try here for some tips!
She is already set on taking Biology and Chemistry A levels, and planned to take German and History alongside them (with a view to dropping one). She now isn't sure whether she should take maths instead of German/History. From what we have read, most universities want 2 sciences, but she wonders whether Maths A Level will increase her chance of University offers.
She really loves History and German and will be sad not to study them, but doesn't want them to impact her long term career goals.
She is also unsure on whether to choose her school sixth form or a college sixth form - the college offers extra curricular linked to dentistry so wondering if that would also help her (although I am keen on her staying on at school for the continuity, small numbers and pastoral support).
Any advice welcome!
Thanks.
