    will DDD in BTEC medical science diploma get me into Nursing at uni?
    As level 3 diplomas count for 3 A levels, do i have to take an A level as well as the BTEC course?

    is there anything else i can do to get more UCAS points?

    In my first year of college I am doing BTEC Level 3 extended diploma in Medical Science, which is only a 1 year course at my college, could I do work experience for a year to help my uni application?

    dont worry! I got into uni to do nursing with a PP in my BTEC
    with 3 distinctions I wouldent think you'd need to do another course just to get into university, you'd probably get in now! however any practical experience you can get then it helps so much.
    a job in a old persons home or something like that, just to learn the basics. and then whatever uni you apply to, sell yourself in the interviews!

    You should probably know what your studying in college! I'm unsure about that, best to contact a university directly.
