Official biochemistry applicants 2013*

I thought I would start this thread to give us an indicator for applicants to see when and what offers are being sent and where people are applying.

So where are you applying? What are your Grades or perdicted grades?
What were your GCSE results? and also have you applied yet?

I'm doing Scottish highers but last year I got:
Higher Music - A
Higher English - B
Higher Chemistry - B
Int 2 Biology - A
And this year I'm sitting advanced higher chemistry and music and higher maths and human biology :smile:
I was going to apply to straight biology but I think that biochemistry will have more job prospects!

I sent my UCAS on Tuesday I think. My situations a little different, I'm 20, I already did a year in Medicine, decided it wasn't for me, and have since decided to reapply for Biochemistry. I've got A*ABB in Biology, Chemistry, English Lit and History respectively, and at GCSE I got 8A*s and 2As. I'm doing Maths A level in a year this year.
I applied to Exeter, Leicester, Nottingham, Surrey and York, and got an unconditional offer from Surrey just today.

I sent my UCAS two weeks ago, no replies yet! It doesn't seem like there are many for Biochemistry yet though so fingers crossed. I've applied to: Oxford, Warwick, Bristol, Bath and Cardiff (in order of preference).
At GCSE I got 11 A*s, at AS I got 4 As and I'm predicted 3 A*s and an A for A-level.
Any offers from these places yet?
