MPharm application (safety)

So I have 34 IB predicted grade, and I want to know if applying to MPharm Bath with a preparatory year (28 points) would be a guaranteed entry. I'm afraid I will get rejected because some universities reject applicants who seem like they applied as safety or something. If so, should I apply to a different safety university? (I feel like my other unis are risky because I'm applying to 34 minimum entry for all the other schools)

Be aware that the Bath MPharm with Prep year is ONLY available at Plymouth - Pharmacy with Preparatory Year MPharm (Hons) at the University of Plymouth - and you would have to compete the entire degree at Plymouth.

In general, unless a Foundation style course explicitly states eligibility like widening participation criteria or that if you meet the entry requirements for their main degree you wont be considered, then you should be okay.

The MPharm Bath with a preparatory year at the University of Plymouth isn't an 'insurance option' or a guaranteed entry as there are only 10 places available on the course. If you have grades high enough to meet the entry requirements for the 4-year course, you will not be offered an interview for the preparatory year. The preparatory year is for students with a passion to study Pharmacy but do not meet the entry requirements. You must pass the preparatory year with >60% to then enter Year 1 of the MPharm course at the University of Plymouth.
