2024 Pharmacy applicants mega-thread

Original post by Hazlenut2000

I am applying to Brighton university and University of East anglia to study pharmacy with a foundation year,and I am applying with CCD grades, when both of their requirments are CCC. Does anyone who has already applied to pharmacy no if those universities would still consider me.

I got into MPharm with FY at UEA with a C and an E so definitely have a shot! Just make sure you’re feeling prepped and confident for the interview :smile:

Thank you, do they reduce entry requirements for widening participation students because I don't think I would qualify, and does UEA require an interview before I can progress to 1st year afyer foundation year or do I just have to get a certain percentage (like 70%) for my work

which unis is everyone applying to?

My predicted grades are an A* in english lit, an A in chemistry and a B in biology which I am not happy about but we move.

The universities I am planning to apply to very soon are:
UCL
KCL
Reading Uni
Kingston Uni
Uni of Hertfordshire

The stuff I included in my personal statement was my personal reasons for wanting to do pharmacy, my passion for chemistry, my palliative care wex, my hospital volunteering, and my experience being a tutor.

I've already seen people getting invited to interviews so I will send my applications off ASAP, I don't have much faith in being accepted but we'll see.

Not sure why you don’t have faith- Kingston offered me a place for much worse grades in 2021 and you’ve also got tons of relevant wex!! Believe in yourself🥲
