Bath - no problem with 5th choice applicants for Pharmacy.
They will ask you to send them a separate Pharm PS but its all very straightforward, and you wont be at the back of the queue for an interview/offer

Once they have started assessing your application - you would just get an email request.

you reckon its worth it or not, would there be any unis that would just give me a straight offer with no interview or ps?

MPharm has to interview - its a professional course.
Interviews will usually be online, and not at all complicated - nothing like MMIs.

If you can't be bothered just to write a PS, why do you want to do Pharmacy ...?

MPharm does not require any specifically Pharmacy orientated w/experience and any experience you have got already for Dent will do fine.
Lots of useful resources on the Pharm forum - Useful resources for MPharm PS and Interviews - The Student Room
