Rejected from UOB (Birmingham)

I got rejected from UOB for pharmacy and it was my top choice. Is there a chance I could get in through clearing even though I did an interview?

Hi did you get email saying rejected a week later of interview?
or it told you to wait a bit until update on UCAS?

I guess rejection is redirection. Have you got any other offers?

yh it was- not to sure about this year tho, but ur best bet is to phone them up on results day, because even if a uni hasnt advertised a clearing place they probably have unadvertised places they would give you if u phoned them and meet the requirements. but when clearing opens in june/july, its worth having a look

its alr darling i dont mind, last year i applied for uob pharmacy and got an offer (but i rejected them) in june/july when clearing opened up uni of birmingham was available for pharmacy. even if uob isnt available for clearing in june for pharmacy this year, i GUARANTEE if u call them up on results day, theyll deffo give u a place bc this is even the case for kings and ucl. this is bc not everyone meets their offer xx
there are two rounds of clearing, one that opens in june/july, and another round that opens on results day, where extra places open from ppl who lost their place because they didnt meet their offer, so trust and believe u will be fine

most courses will have open places, even if they are not advertised on the website, because a good chunk of ppl miss their grades so if u get good grades and call them up they will give u a place to fill them up

Oh ok so u literally just call and ask if there’s a place!

yep, but make sure to get then name of the person ur talking on the phone to, and if u get the grades, they will give u a place and then u submit ur details through the clearing route on ucas, but remember its on a first come first serve basis so u need to call them quickly
