No way. Me too (I'm male btw, I'll disappear now)


Wooo :five: You're the first person that wants to do the same thing, I'm not so lonely anymore :biggrin:
Also TSR isn't going to be representative.
Physics for me hopefully, if I get the grades! :biggrin:

I've always been fascinated in drugs and that, and then the brain is so complex. And I'm quite ignorant with regards to mental illnesses so was doing a bit of googling, and the brain is just so complex.

The biochemistry of memories and things like that.

Cambridge have Neuro modules in year 2 of NatSci if you're interested. Can be taken with Pharmacology and another module of your choice :biggrin:

That's what I'm thinking of doing :smile:
Out of curiosity, which uni?
Maths here. :smile:

Currently, Applied Maths is my favourite (kinda like Physics).

That's how my interest started too :laugh: I've looked at Cambridge's NatSci course and it's my dream but I'll have to see how my AS exams turn out :rofl:
I'm doing maths, chemistry and biology at A level.

I've been accepted to do Dietetics at Nottingham this September which is an integrated masters course with option of research, but I'm suddenly feeling as if I might get a bit bored with it.

I'm considering applying for Naturaal Sciences in clearing if there are any, I'm really not sure though 😣 I don't really know what id do post degree!

Ooh sounds great! Just wondered which 'path' you're taking in it? Also, what kind of career do you want after?

Biology-chemistry-environmental sciences! Currently I'm thinking about research in genetics :smile: What I like about this course is how flexible it is so I can easily change my mind about what I want to do if it comes to that!
How about yourself?

Oops ignore me, just saw your above post! :colondollar:

*Raises hand* I want to be a toxicologist or a pharmacologist.

I want to do Pharmacology and become a neuropharmacologist :smile:


If I can't do toxicology, I think I would become a psychopharmacologist or psycholinguist! :tongue:

Wow that sounds awesome! Flexibility is one of the best parts about the course IMO!

I really wish I had applied, though I probably wouldn't have got in with my AS grades. Hopefully ill get A*AA this year though, I don't know if it comes up in clearing though as it is so popular 😔

My offer is AAB and I got AABD at AS - do you mind if I ask what you got at AS? You never know - I was so shocked when I got my offer, I even applied for biochemistry there too because I loved the uni so much haha! (My low offer is most likely due to my school being rubbish :redface:)

Wow for natsci? I got ABC (maths chem bio) at AS but I know at the time everyone who was applying for natsci seemed to have AAA at AS and all the websites say A*AA overall needed so I thought I had no chance in hell! Plus I didn't know about contextual offers as my school is really bad too!

Damn I really regret not applying now, I guess I'll just have to hope that there are some in clearing, I'd love to go to Nottingham!
