Zoology/Biological Sciences applicants for 2012 entry

This is SO good to hear!!!
It's like no-one realises zoology is a career path in its own right, so many people do it to go into vetinary

I know right! :tongue:

We actually want to do Zoology for a reason! :biggrin:

I have an interview for a couse called 'International Wildlife Biology' at the University of Glamorgan in Cardiff on the 29th Feb.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what Qs I may be asked.
Thank you

I've applied for the same, in my interview it was fairly relaxed they gave me the chance to ask questions first. They asked me to identify an animal skull and talk them through the reasons why I thought it was that. But no tough questions (although I was the last one there and they were running late and needed to start on the next wave of interviews so I have a feeling mine was very slightly rushed! hehe)

Hope this helps :smile:

Hello fellow bio/zoology geeks!
I'm currently deciding between Leeds and Leicester for my firm choice, for zoology/ biosci:zoology! Both ask for ABB, but Leeds also has an access to Leeds offer of BBC 0.o! Kinda struggling where to pick, any ideas?
Abers' going to be my insurance.
Good luck to all (And hopefully see some of you come september!)

My situation right now:

Unconditionals from Leicester and King's
Rejected from UCL for two courses
Waiting for Queen Mary

Between King's and Leicester I've decided I prefer Leicester for several reasons! And unless Queen Mary gives me some insane offer of unconditional with lots of sweets or something, I'm choosing Leicester as my firm!! :P

Excited! Any Leicester firmers for biological sciences?? :smile:

Is anyone else choosing Exeter as their firm choice for Zoology? I am in love with Falmouth and honestly can't see myself anywhere else..my offer was conditional ABB, fingers/toes/everything crossed!!

p.s. also wanting to be a Zoologist, doing Zoology purely because I want to for the rest of my life!!

I have, and my offer's unconditional so I'm deffo going :smile:

I feel exactly the same as you about Falmouth, so so so beautiful! I missed out on Exeter with my results last year, but was so desperate to go I chose to not go to my insurance (despite the fees!) and reapply and they gave me an unconditional this time round.

I literally can't wait!

Now it seems that people are starting to make decisions, it might be nice to set up a fb group or something for everyone who has firmed Cornwall, its what happened last year and it was really nice to 'get to know' others who were going - despite the fact I missed out in the end! I might set one up in a few weeks time, and see if we can get the word out :smile:

ahh lucky you, well done! Yeah if I don't get the grades I think i'll do the same. Fb group sounds like a great idea, we should definitely set one up. Would be sweet to talk to others who are going and will be good for motivation! :smile:

I did Biology, German, Chemistry and Maths.
For AS I got AAAB respectively and my A2's were AABD respectively! (Really regret taking Maths haha!)

Then did Medicine at King's for 1 1/2 years but due to some unfortunate circumstances I had to drop out and reapplied for Biological Sciences, which I love just as much :smile:

Hmm, I'm sorry that I did not take A levels, I took an exam called UEC, which is equivalent to A levels, and I took Malay language, Chinese Language, English Language, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Add Maths I and Add Maths II.
