Pharmacy Applicants 2016

Hi I'm hoping to send my application for Pharmacy at the beginning of November but I see that a few have already done so I'm getting worried. My GCSE grades were 6A* 5A, AS - Biology (A), Mathematics (A), Chemistry (C) and Health and Social Care (A) but dropping the latter. My predicted grades are A*A* and A/B in Chemistry.
I am applying for:
1.Cardiff
2.Manchester
3.Liverpool John Moores
4.Durham
5.Unsure

Biology, chemistry, maths but my predicted/AS grades aren't good enough for most standard pharmacy courses. No offer yet as my ucas still hasn't been sent off by college! What about you?

Hi,

I applied for Birmingham, Nottingham, Bath, Keele and UEA- sent the application off 2 days ago.
I have got interviews at Bath and UEA so far so was just wondering if anyone has any tips- what to expect/ what to do to prepare?

Also, has anyone had an interview invite from Birmingham, Keele or Nottingham yet?

Hi!

I'm a fourth year at UEA studying pharmacy. Any queries about the applications or the course feel free to ask me!

Hope exams went well for everyone!

Hi,
I've got an interview at UEA for Pharmacy in a few weeks, so do you have any tips? Also, what teaching style is used?

Thanks :smile:

It's very informal, last year some guy turned up in jeans but I wouldn't recommend doing that because everyone will be dressed formally. The questions are basically about your life so if you work behind a bar or something they'll ask you how you're finding that and so on. Easiest interview I had last year anyway. Good luck.

So annoyed that I submitted my UCAS 2 weeks ago but because my AS History teacher hasn't even started my reference yet it can't be sent off. Won't be sent off until we go back after half term - even then no guarantee that the reference will have even been completed! :frown:
