Can i apply to optometry UWE with ABB? or where else can i apply.

I've been predicted ABB, A in sociology and 2 B's in chem and bio.
I have no clue where to apply. and i'm confused on if uwe bristol would accept me or not.
I've applied for cardiff, plymouth, aston, uwe and im not sure what to do for my fifth, potentially herts foundation year. but idk if these choices are silly to pick, i literally just had no clue where to apply.

Hey @moonuh ,

It’s great to hear that you’re looking at coming to UWE.

I don’t think that your choices are silly at all. Doing research into the universities (look at the course modules, uni societies, wider city) and attending their open days where you can could be helpful to reassure you with your choices. Even just visiting the city for a day/weekend trip can restore faith in your choices and give you a feel for the place.

Regarding your question on whether UWE would accept you based on your grades, it’s worth getting in touch with our admissions team who can advise further on this. You can contact them on:

Telephone: +44 (0)117 32 83333

Do let me know if you have any other questions.

Good luck with everything and we hope to see you here soon!

i applied for optom as a 5th choice for dent. i applied city university for optom as they don’t look at personal statment or do an interview. recieved an offer on the 27th of october. Im contextual so i assimed i’d get a grade reduction but it was reduced to BBB (i assimed itd be reduced to ABB) i assime if you are contextual an ABB might be difficult but it’ll be possible at certain unis. maybe have a non russel group to be safe
