Yeah I really hate how the entry requirements are practically the same for EVERY optometry uni, so there really isn't much of a back up if you have a bad day of the exam or something
I mean, I was going to apply for Ophthalmic dispensing as a back up since they ask for like CCD but then I was like... is it reallyyy worth paying for 2-3 years at uni doing a foundation course to then pay for 3 more years doing optometry... when I can just take a year out and re-sit then apply again? So I'll probably end up doing that if my grades fail me :P
My City offer is A*AA but I'm confused because the City and UCAS websites have always said, and still do say, that you either need A*AA OR AAB (with at least a C at AS). And I have a B at AS so I don't understand why they've given me the "wrong" entry requirements? I've sent them an e-mail about it anyway haha.
So yeah these are my offers so far:
Anglia Ruskin - ABB (AB in Biology and Physics)
Aston - AAA (in Biology, Physics, Psychology)
City - A*AA (in any order of Biology, Physics and Psychology)
My predicted grades are
Psychology A*
Biology A
Physics B
At AS I got
Psychology A
Biology A
English Lit B (2 marks off an A so I'm resubmitting coursework to get an A in jan)
Physics D
Physics is the bane of my life :P I'm resitting the AS June module as well as the A2 Jan module after Christmas, booo!
What did you get for AS levels? And what subjects do you currently do other than Biology?
I think Bradford asks for AAB, but for all of these uni's they ask for AA in the core sciences :/ except AR
Ahahahha I feel the same, for every reassuring post I read on Student Room, about 1000 crush my soul after
