Applying to uni with old grades while resitting

hello,
I started sixth form at 18 years old and recently sat my A-levels at 20 years old due to some circumstances and I've achieved CCD in chemistry, maths and biology. however, I'm planning to resit them privately since I can't resit them at my old sixth form. I want to study pharmacy at uni but my grades weren't enough for the direct entry only for pharmacy with foundation year. I thought to whether it is possible that I can apply with my old grades for pharmacy with foundation year and pharmacy (mpharm) course while resitting my A levels privately at an exam centre and enter my achieved grades in addition to entering my A level grades that I am willing to resit as pending. so I can have a safe place if I got accepted in the foundation year if I happen to do worse at my resits
my second concern is my old sixth form told me they could provide me with reference but they can't provide me with predicted grades so can i apply without predicted grades since i am willing to obviously improve my grades.

Hi, I am in a similar situation as you as I also started sixth form at 18 years old and plan on retaking my alevels privately. I also want to study pharmacy. My previous school doesn’t want to provide me with predicted grades and my fear now is being at a disadvantage and not getting offers because of it.

i am in the same situation currently, i haven't achieved the grades i needed for pharmacy this year, so i am planning on resitting privately, and my school wont provide me with anyth. in that case, when applying for unis, i will put my grades as pending as i have to sit my exams in a private centre, but i have originally passed my practicals, in that case how will the universities know when all im going to do this year is resit my exams and not my practicals?

May I ask have if you’ve found any good exam centres or cheap ones?
Same honestly I have passed all my practicals as well and I have been told it will be carried forward so you don’t have to do them again.

If you don’t mind me asking, what universities do you guys plan on applying to and are you using the same personal statement or a different one?

I’m thinking maybe Manchester, Kingston, Medway, Aston and Brighton and yes I’m using the same personal statement as my personal statement was totally fine and it were only my grades
