Hi there

I do biology German and history ( interesting mix I know)

I’ve got an offer for bio med already and I want to do it because I think the content is really what I want to do aswell as it’s easier entry seeing as I only have one science

I got 7 Bs and two c stars at GCSE and at a level I’m predicted BBC

It’s got a very calming atmosphere and it feels a bit like home

I’m sitting the merit test in Feb and I will start preparing around December

I’ve already attended an open day and I’ve loved it

I’m excited to get away and meeting some new people

I’ve applied for queens, Swansea, Cardiff and Ulster
