They only have a little more than two weeks before the UCAS deadline closes. I’ve just braced myself for a rejection after waiting so long and applied for student finance with QMUL as the university I’m likely to go to. My predicted UCAS grades were A*A*B in maths, biology, chemistry and A in EPQ which got me offers from my other choices.

got my kings offer yesterday!! literally applied bc I had to fill the space - I'm a gap year student with AAB so I thought there's no way they'll accept that as the requirement is AAA, but they did!

Anyway what I wanted to ask for was some advice on choosing my firm - I've applied for kcl, UCL, qmul and st georges. I know st Georges is a specialty uni with a lot of different facilities for these kinds of degrees and good graduate prospects - I'm not sure exactly regarding the differences as well as pros and cons between the other courses. Any advice is highly appreciated, thanks!

Congrats on all of your offfers. :biggrin:

In terms of decisions, go through the course modules and optional modules for all years of the course. Think about what you would choose if you went there and what you would find most interesting. Do any of the courses offer a placement year or study abroad? This can add a lot to your graduate CV.

I wanted to ask if anyone had any opinions on choosing my firm and insurance from these three: Manchester (AAA), Bristol (BBB) and Bath (BBB).
I can't lie, I'm so indecisive and I just don't know. :dontknow:
Obviously I don't have very long to decide so any insights would be appreciated!

Do any offer a placement year as this will add a lot to your graduate CV? Compare the modules and optional modules for all years of the course to work out which course you will the most interesting.

Please can I ask if you all completed work experience before applying and if so, where was this and what are your reasons for studying Pharmacology? Is there an entrance exam you have to do?
