Near-miss for Liverpool

I'm currently sitting my Alevels and it's slowly starting to feel like I'll get ABB, whereas my offer from liverpool for pharmacology BSc is AAB. Do you think I have a chance of getting accepted still?
No guarantees, but yes there is always a chance depending on the grades that other offer holders get.

No I'm gonna do foundation year in biosciences at uni of manchester, I have a question though, can I do pharmacology after completing foundation in biosciences, considering I do well?

I didn’t get into Liverpool to study pharmacology, ended up doing my undergrad in pharmaceutical science, and now I’ll be doing my masters in pharmacology and toxicology at Liverpool instead

So it depends what type of work you want to do in the pharmaceutical industry. So for instance, my undergrad focused on discovery, formulation and development, and we did a bit of pharmacology, toxicology and clinical trials. Biotech and pharmacology will both get you into the pharmaceutical industry, but they’re both focused specifically on different things. If you want to be a pharmacologist, then you can possibly do the foundation year and then a undergrad in pharmacology, alternatively you could do an undergrad in a bioscience degree such as biotech or biosciences, then do your masters in pharmacology. If you just want to get into the pharmaceutical industry, have a look at the different roles, as you could just do biotech undergrad and go from there.
