Applying for pharmacy 2016

Scroll to see replies

I am also year 13 and I achieved grades BBCC at AS, predicted AAB. Do you think universities such as King's college and UCL will give me offers for pharmacy as I really want to stay in London and there isn't a lot of decent unis other than King's and UCL that do pharmacy.

Yh I don't see why not I know that kings like to have a personal statement that is strongly geared towards pharmacy meaning you should only talk about pharmacy not any other subjects, I think this eliminates applicants that have applied for 2 different subjects like chemistry and pharmacy this way they know they actually have someone that really only wants to study pharmacy. As for UCL I know they are really harsh with their interview process so just prepare yourself for that. I think you will be fine good luck!

I'm not sure how competitive they are, but I do think they're lenient in terms of grades (I hope so anyway!) And I will do, hopefully it won't be long before I hear back from them! What are your AS grades like?

Im predicted AAB which is quiet ambitious tbh (BBCC for AS) and I applied to the following:

UCL
King's college
Hertfordshire
Manchester
Nottingham(Foundation as a safe)

What does everyone think? Will I get offers?

I think you have a really good chance of getting offers! I've heard about someone else getting an offer from Kings with those kinda of grades recently aswell :smile:

The foundation one at Nottingham though - have you double checked that they well accept your predicted grades by emailing them? I know someone that was predicted BBB and was rejected from Manchester for foundation pharmacy because her predicted grades were too high

You would be better off applying to courses with lower entry requirements such as Manchester metropolitan (260 UCAS points), Nottingham Trent (280), anglia Ruskin (120), Hertfordshire (280) and East London (280). Look around them you may find a place you really love!
Good luck!

I don't think Hertfordshire offers 280 for The UCAS points I tried to look it up from the Internet and is says 320 points
