Pharmacy through clearing

Last year I applied for Medicine but was rejected by all before results day. I only had one offer which was biomed at Manchester, but I really wanted to change it to Pharmacy at Manchester and I did. However after some thought I decided to actually reject the offer and re apply for Medicine and taking a gap year since I achieved 3 A*s in my A levels. Unfortunately it isn't looking great for me as I have been rejected by Cardiff, put on a reserve list for Sunderland and still waiting for Aston and Keele to respond after interview. I was also rejected by Manchester for Pharmacy because my personal statement wasn't suitable. I would just like to ask if I am unfortunately unable to get into Medicine, will I be able to at least get into Pharmacy at a Russel Group University this year? I am really not wanting to take another gap year. I've seen that applicants for Pharmacy for this year increased by 40% too, my luck is just terrible. Is it likely for Russel Group unis to be in clearing for Pharmacy?

I think there’s still a possibility, due to the unpredictable uncertainty of the grade boundaries. I’m sure many may miss out on those offers so their places will go into clearing. FFS

Why not take a gap year ? Also why is Ur offer so high for Pharmacy? You can get ABB and get into any other university like Manchester or Newcastle or even KCL

Hi!
I'm a Pharmacy student at Keele. Keele usually goes into clearing (so does Wolverhampton and maybe Aston). It doesn't really matter if you get your degree from a Russell Group uni or not so long as you have the MPharm.
If I had to guess, I'd say pharmacy applicants have increased by 40% because pharmacists will be coming out as independent prescribers, after their Foundation Training Year (pharmacy only has 1 instead of fy1 and fy2). That's also why the entry requirements are going up, because the course is becoming very clinical and you have to learn a lot of diagnostic, management and physical examination elements that med students also study. I hope it goes well for you and you get an offer from Aston or Keele but keep them in mind for pharmacy clearing!
Was UCLAN in pharmacy clearing last year? I could've sworn it was
