The universities i applied to required an A in chemistry and i got a B. I didn’t realise that AAB was subject specific so i will have to apply through ucas extra later on for different universities

If you don’t mind me asking which unis did you apply to?

UCL also said chemistry doesn’t have to be an A so idk why manchester is different

A levels : AAA prediction ( biology, chemistry, psychology )
unis : UCL, KCL, Kingston, Manchester and Nottingham

Of course! They tend to interview most applicants but you sound like a strong candidate

I'm predicted AAB so would it be fine applying to 4 AAB unis and 1 ABB uni, or should I apply to 2 ABB unis to increase my chances?

I'd personally apply to two ABB/ BBB because if you only apply to one and gor whatever reason it doesnt offer, you'll be stuck for an insurance choice.

How is everyone preparing for interviews? Are there any good resources out there?

I thought GPhC had mandated one-to-one interviews for MPharm entry but could be wrong there

I saw another post on TSR ( https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7294750 ) and Newcastle Uni replied to someone and stated that they are not going to be interviewing for 2024 entry, but they will be for 2025.

Folks, please remember that TSR strictly forbids any chat about interview details about specific tasks, tests and questions - both on boards and via pm.

'I think I messed up the last question' or 'It was a panel interview' is fine but nothing more detailed please.

(If you think about it, its not in your interests to give away any details. If you provide this information online for everyone else to read, other applicants will have an obvious advantage - and they may get an offer instead of you ....)

I am applying to Brighton university and University of East anglia to study pharmacy with a foundation year,and I am applying with CCD grades, when both of their requirments are CCC. Does anyone who has already applied to pharmacy no if those universities would still consider me.
