    in a bit of a pickle with my midwifery interview
    hey guys, i'm looking for a bit of advice/reassurance

    i've applied to study midwifery, and have had four rejections, except from Coventry, where I have my interview tomorrow.

    i was doing some last minute revision, and noticed that i need biology to study there, which i dont have. i was sure during my applications that i applied to non-specific courses, so does anyone know if this has changed?

    also, i'm worried about turning up and being rejected straight away. but, universities are able to see your qualifications, so i assume that if they had a problem with it, i wouldnt have been offered an interview?

    i'm freaking out now because this is my last oppurtunity to get into uni this year...

    any advice/reassurance would be much appreciated

    To be honest, I think it's best if you phone up and explain it to them over the phone, rather than worrying on the day of the interview.

    You need Biology from 2013 entry, not this year
