Clearing in pharmacy...does it happen?

seriously LSP???woah i thought all these "prestigious" universities didn't enter themselves through clearing, coz i asked manchester and they sed they haven' been entered for clesring for the past three years and its highly unlikely that they will do so in the near future.but reading ure reply has actually made me feel a bit better.thanx.x

Well I got offers from Nottingham and Manchester through Clearing last August even though they told me they had no vacancies. They basically asked me to send them my details and then Nottingham invited me to an interview, rejected me then gave me an offer, and Manchester gave me an offer without an interview. I however declined both offers in order to reapply for Medicine.

I know for a fact that Pharmacy schools do go into clearing but they don't advertise their vacancies. The best thing to do is to phone them on results day. I know places like Nottingham, Manchester, LSOP King's and even Bath have accepted people onto the course in late August when you'd otherwise expect the courses to be full. There's more leeway to accept students after publications of the results in Pharmacy than say in Medicine or Dentistry.

For those universities mentioned,do you know if they would accept you if your grades are lowere than their entry reqirements, say you grt BBB and their normal requirements are ABB?
I know i'm asking too many questions but i really need to know its important,the teachers in my school don't really care unless your applying to OXBRIDGE!

pharmacy schools are always in clearing last year my friend got into brighton ,U.E.A sunderland and a couple of others. I think cardiff was even there.

I bet places like Wolverhampton will be in clearning ...

Not sure that comment was entirely necessary. I have several friends at that university and it may not have the highest academic requirements but that does not automatically mean it's no good.
