I'm applying for Optometry this year whilst on my gap year after doing lots of vet med work exp (actually being offered a place) and deciding it wasn't for me. I'm a bit worried I haven't been able to get any optom work exp as all the places I've contacted say they don't do it, but I have been able to talk to the Optometrists there about their jobs a bit.
I got ABB in Biology, Chemistry and Geography respectively at A2 but the exam board lost one of my A2 geog papers (got A's in 3 modules then they gave me a C in the one they lost) so also a bit worried about grades. I'm applying to Manchester, Anglia Ruskin, City and Cardiff, although I doubt I'll get an offer from Cardiff wanting AAA. Good luck to everyone!
