Switching from biomedical science and pharmacy

I don’t want to do biomed anymore and I’ve already submitted my application but the only uni I’ve applied to that do both are UCL and KCL and I reach the Alevel grade requirement for it and I have grade 7 in English lang. I got a predicted grade of A in bio and chem and a B in history. I’ve requested to change programs for both of those unis and told them I have a revised personal statement. Do you think it would be possible for me to do pharmacy?

You are limiting yourself somewhat by only applying to 2 very competitive Unis (if they will allow you to switch your application).
Do you only want to go to a London Uni? If you're not so restricted by location, you could look at applying to any Unis that go into clearing for pharmacy, but it's likely there won't be many options.

From what I know, it would probably be pretty unlikely. UCL and KCL are really competitive unis, especially UCL for pharmacy. Their selection processes both require interviews, and UCL has a test on maths skills and ethics, which have all been finished for this years applicants. I know for sure that every applicant who got through to the test (first stage) of the UCL MPharm process all met or exceeded the grade requirements, so that may not be enough to get you reconsidered.
