Fifth choice

Guys I need your help. Basically i have applied for medicine but my backup is pharmacy. So I was just wondering has anyone every applied to pharmacy with a medicine personal statement? Because i am going to put in my pharmacy fifth choice now. I will call up the unis to ask them but has anyone every tried doing that and if yes what unis did you guys apply to?

Thanks!

I put QUB pharmacy as my backup choice last year. I got an offer in early November. The uni require no interviews. My ps was about medicine and I didn't mention even a word for pharmacy.
I didn't get into medicine and got a place for pharmacy instead, deffered the place for a year so I can plan my future when I get my actual A level results.
Oh thanks for your help ! :smile:
If you don't mind me asking. What did u get for ur a2 results?

It was a deferred entry, the uni said I will get a letter asking me do I still want my place in Feb. I am not going to take it as I got a place for medicine :smile:
Good luck in your application and never give up. Taking a gap year is an option for you.

Thank you :smile: My place for medicine is not in the UK, however I will be able to transfer back to the UK into third year when I finish the first 2.5 years.
Good luck. There are so many different routes you can choose and the final outcome will be the same.
