How Likely Am I To Get Into Pharmacy?

GCSE Grades: 988777776 and a L2M in ICT
A-Level Predicted: A*A*A - chemistry, biology, maths
Work Experience: I do volunteering at my hospital and I've given drugs to patients and I've also done some work experience at my local pharmacy.
- I want to apply to Nottingham, Newcastle, UCL, Manchester and Queens (any Russel Groups really). Im worried that my GCSE grades are too low. I got a 6 in GCSE Maths and a 7 in GCSE English Lang and Biology and a 8 in Chemistry.

Excellent, I would say. Why would you doubt it with those grades and work experience?

I don't know I just feel like its a competitive course and others who apply will have much better GCSEs than me, I messed about a lot during GCSEs and barely did any revision (stupidly) so I stress about my grades not being good enough.

It is a competitive course but you are an excellent candidate. Your GCSEs are pretty good and your A level predictions are amazing. I've certainly heard of people getting into Pharmacy with a lot less than you, so I wouldn't worry about it. Are you applying next year?

For 2020 entry, yes. Also do you think I should change the unis I want to apply to because I've heard UCL is quite hard to get into?

Not that I'm trying to brag, but I'm predicted ABB and I have received an offer for every uni I applied to. The uni's will probably be begging to have you on their course with grades and experience like that!

Yes

Make sure you do your research and that it is the career you want. There are many threads on TSR from students and pharmacists disillusioned with it because of low pay, saturated job market and low prospects. Go in with your eyes open.

Thank you, I will make sure to do my research

Definitely! As long as you show you have correct mindset etc.

My GCSE grades were A*A*77AABBC so a lot lower than yours, on track for AAB in chem, maths and photography, also a lot lower than yours, and i have an offer at Cardiff uni for pharmacy. They look at the person more than the grades, as long as you meet the minimum.
Good luck!

Its above average competitiveness but its not unreal competitive.

Your predicted grades are surplus to average offer
offer rates: Nottingham 58% Newcastle 92% Manchester 55% UCL 55% Queens 84%

2 minutes research would have told you this!

This thread is not about an honest opinion its another, please remind me im predicted A*A*A. *yawn*

Yes barring any huge red flags you will obviously get offers.
