Biology/ biological sciences applicants for 2013 entry

i just got an email today from manchester uni they've given me an interview!! . does any one know what the process is like ?

*waves to fellow biology lovers*

Is a marine biology applicant welcome?
(wasn't sure what you meant by 'biological sciences', the course of the same name or the group of subjects )

good luck!

Of course you're welcome

Where are you applying?

Yay!

Very soon; just emailed my fifth draft of my PS to my tutor as I'm not in tomorrow (no timetabled lessons, my sixth form is stupid). It should be the last, as there was only one sentence he had an issue with! Then he's forwarding my reference that he's written to our exams/UCAS officer, so the process is going along well.

I'm applying to Southampton (two different but similar courses), Liverpool, Bangor and Plymouth!

ooh good luck!

I live quite close to Southampton so if you have any questions about life around here I'll be happy to answer

Thanks! I adore Southampton, definitely my first choice

Does anyone know whether you can be made a higher offer than what is stated on a uni's website/prospectus? I won't achieve my predicted grades, they're insane. Highest one I'm applying for is AAB, please don't go up!!

I highly doubt it

Aha yay. I don't know how medicine applicants deal with the pressure of A*A*A offers and the like, I'm paranoid about AAB :')

I know I would be over the moon with AAB :')

Hello everyone!
Applying for medicine but also applied for 'Anatomy and human biology' at the university of Liverpool.. And got a conditional offer today! My first really excited and would love to do this degree!

Exactly, they are really good grades! I am cautiously aiming for an A* in Biology though, since I got 94% overall at AS. I know it will be sooooooo hard (the unit 4 essay on AQA is horrendous, we have done a few practice ones) but it's my favourite subject and I want to show how passionate I am about it

What other subjects do you do? People always think I am applying for maths since I take further maths

Edit: I think I mean unit 5 lol, the unit numbers confuse me XD

welcome to the thread!

Congrats! good luck with your medical application

As am I, but I'm a human biologist

by5 is notorious with WJEC

I already have A2 history, economics and general studies and this year I'm finishing off A2 human biology and I've picked up AS chemistry and psychology what about you?

Thank you! Biology is the best

Ah, sweet! I've done A2 Geography, finished that in year 12, and I'm doing biology, maths and F.maths at A2 level this year. I wish I had done chemistry instead of FM but I got slightly dodgy advice Don't get me wrong, I love doing further maths, but chemistry opens up so many more options. Just regular maths would have been enough, I think. My old chemistry teacher hassles me in the hallways about not taking chem, it's slightly scary

Off to bed now, TSR always distracts me

Night! Hope to talk to you all soon, other applicants!
