The best university

i said it was old because on ucas they're asking for ABB, thats why im thinking maybe it's for 2006 entery or maybe they just havent included it. im not complaining that it's high. im just saying.
you said it yourself that prospectuses change almost yearly

Put it this way, with a good reference etc and predicted grades ABB I think you'd stand a good chance of getting an offer from Bath. I have been told they can look at your GCSE's, for instance Notts ask for at least 5A's at GCSE; this may be redundant now but people have told me that they ask for that. Bath will look at your GCSE grades too, I believe. I think Bath and Manchester are the most firm with grades i.e. AAB-ABB, so meh22 if you are predicted ABB you stand a good chance from getting offers from them. I think the interviews may be tougher at Manchester because they perhaps could ask academic questions on the spot?

i wasnt complaining that they're high ! im predicted AAA and ive already got a reply from bath asking me to come to an open day. i was just saying that the entery requirements of some unis seem to be going down for pharmacy when actually its getting more competitive. thats what i didnt get.

ok I see, no worries - yeh do you have to write another ps coz dentistry is your first choice?

Reply 25

yeh that's right, i hope i get into bath, i also applied to cardiff for pharmacy. if i get accepted to both [im ruling out dentistry at the mo cus i dont think i will get in- so im not getting my hopes up] so like i said if i get into bath and cardiff i wouldnt know which one to chose.
is pharmacy your first choice? where else have you applied.

Reply 26

yeh pharmacy is my first choice, lol I originally was going to do dentistry I was so close to applying for it and just realised it wasn't me. I have the grades for it, but I just feel pharmacy is more academic and more me since I love chemistry. With dentistry it seemed to be more ceremical and I guess you have to posess manual dexterity - which I don't think I have when it comes to mouths LOL. You should get offers with AAA, I haven't heard nothing yet from unis (huffs). What schools of dentistry have u applied for? What did you get at GCSE?

Reply 27

well my gcses are not that brilliant, thats why my hopes arnt high. but my AS's are not bad. also i do not have manual dexterity, ive always wanted to do pharmacy as i love chemistry so much but thought i'd try for dentistry along the way.
my gcses are 1*A, 4As, 5Bs. and my AS's are 3As and a C.
you definatly have the grades for dent with 4As at AS.
ive applied to leeds/liverpool/QML/sheffield.

My average GCSE is A*/A coz I got 5 of A* n 5 A each n a B. Yeh but I don't won't to get into dents I want to get into Pharmacy, which is a lot easier to get into lol. Your GCSE's are good, very good for Pharmacy anyway. Aren't the dentistry interviews really nasty? I remember a second year graduate tlling me they ask you stuff about dental anatomy!!? I was like, isn't that the whole point of going to uni to learn about that lol! I hope the pharmacy interviews are relaxed.

Bath. Manchester, King's College, LSOP are probably the most prestigious.

Bath is top at the league table...

Unfortunatly, they are not the best cities...

well i think you do have a chance, but what i mean by get lucky is that you dont meet the minimum requirements, but everyone can get lucky when it comes to it, im counting on luck with my dental application.
