hey, i am applying to worcester university to do pre-hospital unscheduled and emergency care. i have a selection day tomorrow and i just wondered if anyone has any advice?
i am currently studying my A levels, psychology, sociology and english language. i do not have a GCSE in maths, will this be a problem? i do have a functional skills qualification though. i have been a member of st John ambulance for 8/9 years now and obtain many hours of duty and have had first hand experiences in emergency care. i do not have much more experience. i have completed my grand prior award and now that i am an adult i teach first aid within my division, also i help the brownies and other organisations to pass their first aid badges. so basically just wondering if you can give me a heads up on what to say, whats going to happen? thank you.


In most cases, functional skills level 2 is an acceptable alternative, currently the most preferred. Saying this, not all Uni's except alternatives. However the qualifications will have been reviewed prior to offering you an interview, therefore I would say you'll be ok. You could always ring admissions to check! Good Luck :smile:

Super happy! Second year appyling, and after 5 interviews and months of waiting and nail biting, I'm on two waiting lists (Greenwich Avery Hill and St Georges), have one application pending after interview (Hertfordshire) and two offers (Greenwich Medway and Portsmouth).

Looks like this is finally happening! Hang in there you guys who are still waiting - keep trying, and you'll get there! I've been on the waiting list for Medway for a while now, and finally got the good news today - so all is not lost for those still on waiting lists.

:smile:


Good Luck!

Probably Medway - I've heard good things about them, plus it's an BSc Hons, and a funded place.

I'll probably decline Portsmouth soon - I have to wait until Hertfordshire get back to me though, because I can't make any changes to UCAS until everyone's come back to me.

Good luck on your course though! Portsmouth's a nice area.


Thanks!

Offer letters are one sheet saying you have an offer of a provisional place and a slip to send back to accept or decline. So might not be bad news.
