Predicted grades not meeting entry requirements

Im honestly kind of in a mess right now I got my predicted’s back: DEB, and for applying to pharmacy with preparatory/foundation year is CCC for most unis I’ve looked at or CCD.
I don’t meet for contextual offers and my teachers said they won’t change the predicted grades up.
So now I’m not sure what to do or apply for my ucas application

Also check on Kent and medway, east anglia and de mont pharmacy foundation courses

Yeah look into foundation year. Applying for a standard pharmacy course with your predicted grades probably isn't an option but.

Lock in over the next year to get your grades up. you aren't too far off CCC. You can apply through clearing on Results day, or apply in a gap year.

Even if you get like... CDD... in the end, you could still be offered an interview and accepted based on that, or be offered a foundation year instead, or be accepted through clearing (clearing knocks a few grades off the normal requirements)

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS

Work your socks off - really work - and apply with achieved grades in a gap year.
Nowhere does it say you can only go to Uni straight from school.

Hi,

As mentioned above, you could consider applying to pharmacy foundation years or taking a gap year, then reapplying with your actual grades for the standard MPharm course. Some universities also open up places through Clearing on results day, although options for pharmacy can be limited.

Don’t worry too much, there are still options available, and you can find a route that works for you.

Wishing you all the best,
