If I take alevel biology chemistry and psychology for alevels. Will unis like birmingham uni prefer applicants which take alevel bio, chem and physics/ maths for their alevels over psychology? or even for medicine as I am not sure if i want to be a dentist or doctor yet.

Hi do you think Manchester is a risky choice with UCAT 2740. 11 GCSE all 9. A levels: A*A* A* A. Non contextual?

for the NAIF im confused as to where to put any volunteering in? Theres no explicit section that asks for it so do we just not put it in? Surely they would like to see it though 🤷

What about in section 3 talking about alternative work experience in a care setting? doesnt volunteering fall under that? ( im asking myself as thats what ive added to my form so far)

Are you sure? Cause the description talks about activities that enhance your knowledge in the career, and the other description talks about alternative experience in a healthcare setting? I ended up not putting it anywhere and talked about my other work experience as I thought this would be more useful

When I emailed to ask about where to put volunteering, they replied back saying its not too important as to which section you put it in as they don't directly assess the NAIF, they just use it for interviews as a reference, however I put it in the online activity section alongside my online work experience
