I heard it was a group interview but im not sure, really hope it goes well, do you mind me asking what your predicted grades are?
Ummmmmm..
I presume AAA because I have actually received offers, although my AS was BBBB.
City have offered 360 ucas points with AA in Biology and Chemistry. Cardiff was AAA and aston AAA (AAB firm) so i'm assuming AAA haha :') My teachers always said they weren't going to be realistic but they never actually told me :/

Mine's at 10 ://////
Hopefully it'll be okay because it's a group interview but I don't really know how they're gonna do it :')
and omg aha I'm stressing as well but hopefully it'll be okay.
Don't stress about the Herts interview - my friend went and said it was general and about communication and team work. Does anyone know how lenient Manchester are? If they offer AAB , might they still let you in with ABB?
Manchester Optom open day wasn't very specific but I presume they would be?

for why ???????????I got the same from city London because they think the sciences are important haha and also because the course still isn't entirely standard and they want to make sure you'll be able to do it
however they aren't usually too strict with the entry grades because I know quite a few people who got lower and still got in Posted from TSR Mobile
You got an offer from city for Aab? I thought they only give out Aaa as that's their requirements ?

Uhhhhhh yeah I got AAB aha ummmmm it might be because it's based on a UCAS point system rather than definitive grades?
