hey, well i didnt get in last year but decided that as i got good alevel results i would try again and turned down my back up options of biomedical science- which i didnt really want to do! this year though i looked at other science courses and decided that if i didnt get in again this year then i would want to actually do my back up choice. so i went for biochemistry. but i think that there is a huge range of options and there will most probably be some in clearing (there was last year) for things such as pharmacology, chemistry, neuroscience, anatomy etc. have u already applied this year or are u applying next year? the best advice i can give u though is to just chose something u wouldnt mind doing in case u need to take it. after all there is no point in applying for a course that u dont want to do.hope that helps!
