You got into manchester with a B in biology :0 I've tried emailing manchester as to ask whether they will accept B in biology but they havent replied. This is because on their website they say that they require an A in biology. :s

Anyway congrats on getting into Manchester :biggrin:

Thanks :smile:
My main worry was getting the A in Chem, I emailed them too and they emphasised getting the A in Chem more than bio possibly because chemistry is seen as harder I guess. Their offer was AAB, I firmed Manchester and thankfully performed ok in my interview so they showed a degree of leniency. I heard of someone getting in this year into Manchester with ABB, BB in sciences.
Guys do you HAVE to work in an optician in order to apply for this? If not what kind of work experience is needed? : )

Hey, no you don't HAVE to. Its not compulsory though it would look good and because other applicants may have work experience there, it would look good if you have it too. But if thats not possible for you, which is the case alot of the times then work experience or voluntary work anywhere even a charity shop would do fine because it would show you've gone out your way to do something. Im sure there are lots of applicants who have no work experience in an optician and from the 2011 thread, i remember you saying you have your A level results already so seriously, relax. You'll be fine and seeing an 'unconditional' offer soon :smile:

Hi guys, im really interested in doing optometry when I've finished my a levels. Im currently doing maths, physics, bio and business. Do we need chemistry to do the course? Or not?

No you don't, the universities ask for two sciences. :smile: There is chemistry in the course, but it's not an entry requirement.
I'm gonna apply to Aston as my firm for 2012... I hope I'm fortunate enough to get an offer as I've heard its rather competitive :P
I really want cardiff as my firm! but Plymouth (my hometown) started their course this year and it looks very simlar to cardiff's course content!!!

I've wanted this since i was 14, i'm on UCAS Track everyday!!
Has anyone else applied for Optometry yet?? I know no one applying for it =[
