Optometry at Aston help... Doing A-levels, please?
Hi,
Please move this to the appropriate section as I know it's probably in the wrong one - sorry...
So, I have a few questions...
Firstly, what's the ruling like for doing your A-levels over 3 years if I was to apply to Aston?
Are Aston at all lenient on grades, say if I got 2 A*s and a B?
Thirdly, I don't think I've chosen the bestest of subejects: Biology, Chemistry, Psychology and ICT.
I wasn't in the best of circumstances when I sat my January modules and got A's in Psychology and Biology, but an E in Chemistry. ICT is a BTEC so there are no exams. I'm really worried about Chemistry, I need to get into Aston but they want 3 A's but it's the closest Uni to home.
Oh and another question, say I did a course like Biomedical sciences, and got a First, can I then do a course in Optometry despite not having the A-level grades?
Please may someone reply. -
Re: Optometry at Aston help... Doing A-levels, please?hi im currently acheiving my AS levels, and really want to do optometry at aston as it is also closest to home, but was wondering routes into optometry at aston as i dont think ill get the grades needed to get onto the course. i was wondering if you ever found out about doing a course like biomedical science and then either defer into optometry or acheive it to a first and then do optometry at aston.(Original post by 08ahmedm)
