pharmacy application HELP:/

Original post by sima:)

thank you so much, what do you think of the rest of my situation, like is it really as bad as I think it is If i send it like this week

when u send the application doesn't matter at all. my college was also slow as hell but i got all my interviews and offers pretty quickly. ngl applying for the mpharm with a C as the chem predicted grade isn't the best as they expect A's but some unis also consider B's. like you said a foundation year is also an option but yea just make a wise decision.

yea nothing wrong with having a go. can you not convince your teachers to up your predicted grade to at least a b? if not then ofc you have a chance for the foundation year, but maybe the chance isn't as high for the non foundation year just because its so competitive. maybe try choosing unis with lower grade boundaries e.g ljmu. ljmu wanted 120 ucas points and a c in chem which is really low for the mpharm!!!!

nope not a B unfortunately, realistically i think i can get B/C but bc of my situation in year 12 I mainly got C/D's(which explain my predicted kind of) but still at times when my situation was better (e.g like when my wifi was back) I got B's in my mini quizzes, i also want to have a shot at least but my chem teachers have already lied to my face about my 'p grade being a C' so i don't expect much from them. plus i always have that foundation year as a backup.
Thankyou sm for the uni recommendation but my school took us on an open day to there, it was terrible tbh://
something else I'm kind of confused about is, bc I've only just started looking at foundation years so I'm a bit lost, idk what the best route is bc their is combines courses of mpharm and foundation year (as 0 year i think?) but im not sure how i can just take the one year separately as a course. and move on to mpharm

Realistically, I think applying for a foundation year would be your best bet, and if you were to mention your circumstances in your statement that would give them some perspective on you aswell.

Manchester offers a foundation year that you could look into.

oh no!! don't pick the uni if its terrible, ive never been there so i don't know. foundation years are separate, then you have to pass that foundation year by doing an end of year exam and thennn move onto the actual mpharm. yea and like the other person said, check manchester, that's where i go and a lot of people completed the foundation year that are doing the course with me now
