Hi guys, haven't seen a thread for this so thought i'd see if anyone else is interested in applying for Pharmacy at Strathclyde for 2013 and compare grades etc. I have 5Bs for Higher Modern Studies, Higher Biology, Higher Chemistry, Higher Maths and Higher English-I was quite sad about them but I'm hoping I can get a conditional offer along with my extra-curricular stuff. I'm doing Advanced Higher Chemistry, Higher Geography and Higher History this year.



Im appling too. I got A's for higher biology, maths and computing and a B for higher Chemistry. i did int2 english and got an A. Doin AH Bio, Higher english, r.e and computing course at hnc level. hopefully we get in :smile::smile::smile:. Im only worried because they say AH Chem is recommended but im not doin cos we dont get a good teacher.

I'm applying as well! :smile: Pharmacy at Strathclyde is my first choice, I loved it at the open day, and it's something I've wanted to do for quite a while now, so fingers crossed. I got five As in my Highers last year (Maths, English, Physics, Chemistry and RMPS) and I'm taking AH Chemistry, AH Physics and H Human Bio this year. Advanced Physics isn't going too well though, which is a bit worrying! I just wish that the application would be sent away already - I don't think I have the patience to wait until January for them to be sent off, and then even we've got an even longer wait to find out any offers etc! Where / what else are you guys applying for?

i got an appeal so i have ABBBB now which is a bit better...i really don't know if they'll accept me but. i've also got hopsital & community experience so i hope they give me an offer, i think it'll be a B in my advanced chemistry if they do :smile: you both sound like you're getting unconditionals anyway!


not really. I need Higher english this year. Hopefully i get it:smile:
Also i appealed for Chem cos i missed out on a A by a mark. Didnt get it though:frown:
Also one of my teachers said we cant appeal this year. u can apppeal but only if u couldnt sit the exam.
if you do AH chem u have a big advantage. they say its preferred.
youll get it dnt worry. just have a good ps and good AH Chem Grade.
Also have you read the entry info page?

Sorry for the late reply! :smile: and why do you say that? In my opinion, medicine is a vocation, not a course you apply for because you have the grades to be considered?

I sent away my application to ucas on Friday. I feel physically sick at the mere thought of track getting updated!
Hi guys, i applied for 4 medicines and pharmacy at strathclyde as a back up (although i would rather do pharmacy at strathclyde). i just got a reply back on Friday giving me an unconditional for Pharmacy. Im just wondering did anyone else get a reply? im just thinking this is a bit early to get a reply.

another friend of mine doin the same as u(4 med and pharm as back up) got an unconditional as well so there two now:smile:
Hey guys I'm the same as a couple of you, applied for four mediccal schools but got 2 rejections so far so slim chances (I'm a soon to be grad of Biomed making medicine even more competitive) :frown:
Anyways I just decided i should have a backup so applied for pharmacy at strathclyde... fingers crossed!
P.S. Gutted they no longer accept direct entry into second year, anybody know if there have been any exceptions in the last couple of years?
