I got a conditional for RGU but havent heard from Strathclyde. RGU were really quick with getting back to me, they sent me the offer like 2 weeks after i sent my app away. Think RGU will be my firm, seems like a good place for like community/hospital pharmacy since its very patient focused which is what i want to do if i get in :smile:

I got:
Higher English: A Higher Human Biology: A Higher Administration: A and i got a D for Higher maths. But im doing maths again this year. However RGU want a B in physics rather than maths cause when i spoke to the admissions tutor she said they accept maths or physics and they want a B in Chemistry from my subjects this year too. :smile: but im convinced it was my personal statement that got me the offer hahaa.

My friend has been working in a pharmacy for 3 years and a pharmacist wrote her reference. So that side of her Ucas application ^is probably pretty good. Yet she has no reply and people who have admitted their PS was directed at optometry have offers.
I think they're just interested in grades :tongue:. Which ^is fair enough.
-your grades aren't too bad :smile:

Oh cool :biggrin: Well most likely I'm going to RGU cause I'm pretty sure Aberdeen will reject me for medicine.

Well I don't know how, but my friend got a conditional last year and he got AABBC in his 5th year results. (I know, it's shocking.. I'm surprised he still applied to medicine..) but I don't think he met the conditions. But still, after I heard this, anything is possible.

This is assuming he wasn't lying, which I don't think he was.

Im going to the applicant day at RGU on the 5th of march, anyone else going?:smile:

I might go to it. I am a graduate that has applied for pharmacy at RGU. Got an Unconditional offer. If I fail to get into medicine, then pharmacy it is.

My first choice is medicine though. Just hope that I get an interview with Aberdeen uni.

Does anyone here know what the employment prospects are for pharmacy at RGU. I have heard that it is 100 percent, and that everyone manages to get a pre-reg place and a job afterwards.

Well that's what I heard.
There are 123 students in my year excluding OSPAP's (overseas pharmacists doing masters modules prior to registration as uk pharmacists) and pretty much everyone has a pre-registration job sorted bar maybe one or two people. There are still pre-reg jobs available mind so it's not as if they can't get a job.

Once you register with the GPhC then you will be able to find employment. I can guarantee you this.
