Haha don't worry there aren't too many Zoology applicants on tsr either :P

I'm not 100% sure if I'm applying for Biological Sciences aswell but I'm looking in to it. Have you started on your ps?

Oh.. oops maybe I should've started then :P But too be fair I was planning to do Vet med but I was waiting for my results to see if I COULD do it, but AS was too low :frown:

I might do it as a graduate... but i'm starting to like the idea of working in conservation.

I just want to send of my UCAS as soon as I can, so hopefully within the first week back :biggrin:

One of my friends (who just started a gap year) will be going to Exeter on the Cornwall campus to do zoology :smile:

Which unis are you looking at? :smile:

Exeter - Zoology
QMUL - Zoology
Manchester - Zoology
Leeds - Zoology
Glasgow MAYBE - Zoology
UEA - Biological Sciences

I REALLY want to go to Nottingham to do Zoology but I don't think I'll get the predicted grades I need. If I get ABB predicted grades do you think it's worth applying? (Notts asks for AAB)

Which unis you looking at?

How come I've only just found this thread?! I had the impression from TSR and school that I'd be the only one applying for Biological Sciences haha. Has everyone done their PS and made their choices etc?
