Pharmacy Unconditional Offer
Watch
Announcements
Hi. Has anyone received an unconditional offer for Pharmacy MPharm and that is without having your grades already so purely an unconditional offer made due to PS, application and predicted grades?
And if so, which uni did you get it from? Thanks!

Hi, I got an unconditional from Portsmouth uni. They seem quite fond of giving out unconditional offers; most people in my sixth form who applied to them have an unconditional.
I had to put it as my firm choice in order to be unconditional, so I did.

As a qualified pharmacist I would highly advise against it. Too saturated in terms of people studying the course and not many jobs at the end of it post pre reg. see older posts/ sticky threads. With pharmacies closing left right and centre up and down the country, profits slashed due to funding cuts- meaning more pharmacies are struggling to meet costs, multiples blatantly wanting to automate dispensing and thus close stores jobs will be limited in the community sectors.Sure a lecturer will tell u there are other avenues hospital PhD etc. It's their job to convince you so they stay in a job.Do you know how competitive a hospital pre reg Place is? Approx 70 application to one post.Fail to get a first bye bye bye PhD.If you are a straight A student for the love of god you are too good for this garbage profession consider dent or med. optom as a back up. Please for the sake of your own sanity do not end up like me!Lastly every single pre reg or summer student on placement I've come across are literally petrified for their future. They only realise 2-3 years in. Don't make this mistake.

what sort of things did you write in your personal statement to get an unconditional?

Why the role of a pharmacist suits me
The change of the profession and the multiple paths one can take (basically regurgitating the claims lecturers tell you about all the awesome new opportunities in GP surgeries and hospital
What I learnt during my part-time job
Extra curricular/filler fluff/why I'm so cool for volunteering or for being a prefect or for doing ballroom dancing for x years makes me "well-rounded".
Throughout though, I made it very clear that I was "intrigued" by things related to the profession, and I made sure they knew that I was such a good team player because I did some volunteering. You kind of just need to take something you have done, and see how many lovely buzz words you can extract or conjure from such an experience.
I don't know if this is actually bad, but I personally would avoid the whole "I love helping people sksksksk X_X" because it just sounds super basic and lame if you don't have strong evidence backing it up.
If you are having issues with your personal statement, you can always message me or something and I may be able to give some tips

Oh also, if you will do an admissions test, making sure you can do stuff like multiplying and dividing, and converting units without a calculator is really important.
I found the maths part quit hard, and I only got a grade 5 at GCSE, so I think it was my interviews that did it for me.
