KCL dentistry?

a j2 student looking into studying dentistry in the UK (particularly interested in king's college london!) i read from a comment that KCL mainly looks at grades and not portfolio and was wondering how true that is HAHAH

if any seniors are in kcl studying dentistry (actually any dental sch in the UK!) please feel free share your experience, what u did in ur portfolio etc 🥲

im also a female so i have to apply this year before a levels OR take a gap year and wait for the next cycle i guess, currently still debating between taking on additional stuff like the ucat and job shadows or to just focus on my studies so any advice would be appreciated thank you in advance 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
