Optometry

Possible, although I think optometry tends to be somewhat oversubscribed as with many healthcare professions courses so you may be at a disadvantage by not being predicted the standard entry criteria.

You don't have to submit the application until January though, so maybe talk with your teachers about whether they will consider changing your predictions to AAB if you can show consistent improvement between now and then?

That may be true, but my application is getting sent off sometime this week as I'm also applying for medicine.
(The unis I'm applying to for medicine don't look at predicted grades)
So I'm a bit worried; I've heard some people still get in with being predicted ABB.
But I Don't know how common it is for Aston to offer a place to someone who is one grade below the entry?

Firstly, you don't need to add your non-medicine choice at the same time as your medicine choices. You can send off your medicine application and then add the 5th option later, as long as it's before the January deadline.

Secondly, have you had confirmation from the uni they will accept a medicine personal statement for optometry? Often other allied health professions will not, as they want to see that applicants are specifically aiming towards a career in that profession, not another one with that as a backup.

Anyway it's hard to say for sure but I expect you may be at a disadvantage with predicted grades below the standard criteria for what is often a relatively popular cours

oh okay thx!!

Also, you know how, before you send off your UCAS application to your school, you need to pay, right??
I wanted to know, whether it's possible for whoever has your application at the school to send your application back to you? maybe because you made a mistake or something.
And if so, when you send your application back to the school the second time - do you have to pay again??

thanks
