Clinical Sciences clearing, leeds and such :)

[Muffin2]

someone from yr 1 this year told me 48 people got the grades and 31 got interviews, don't know how many got in.
thats a hell of a lot compared to previous yrs and its cos the people on clin sci now generally are people who have AAA or AAB but didn't get an offer from med school. clin sci used to be the best kept secret in medicine, now its the worst, so you need to be fast.

Thanks AGainn n Thanks Shena For the Help.

That's right, this year 48 people got the grade a lot of people getting 70+ averages. Leeds screened personal statements for all first years and 31 of us got an interview. Out of those 31 interviwed, I know 18 people so far that received an unconditional offer.

I hav phoned bradford uni to be transfered from their pharmacy course to their clinical science course. There are still a few days till Alevel results and the person on the phone told me to wait until results day and then see of bradfrd hav accepted me for pharm b4 changing courses and plus she said that she dunt knw if clinical science will b going into clearing blah blah.

I know that the ucas clearing telephone line open at 8.30am on results day, is it possible to phone them and ask to be released from my offers before college releases the results at 10am.

I dont c any point waiting cause even if i meet the requirments for pharm at bradford i still wana do clinical science at bradfrd.

Should i phone bradford before reults are released by my college to b released and also release from my insurance, if clinical science goes into clearing (which it prob will do).

please help

turning down an offer for pharmacy to risk a place on a heavily over subscribed course is a bit daft tbh.
there is a small chance clin sci might not go into clearing, they may be holding their own waiting list like a lot of medical courses do. also with more and more people knowing about clin sci, they could fill up their places with offers they have given out.
another problem is that by 8:30am on results day bradford will know your grades and if they are enough they will have already given you an offer,uni's get the grades a week before you do, chances are they have them now.
an offer is a binding agreement which is hard to get out off, plus you run the risk of clin sci knowing you have pulled out of an offer for pharmacy, which doesn't look good. pharmacy and clin sci staff work together.
if you want to risk it ring now, it will avoid problems in pulling out of offers and results day is too late. that way you could go into clearing for clin sci as normal.

also i hope you don't mind me asking, but why did you apply to pharmacy when you wanted to do clin sci.

I've been asked to help out with clin sci (foundation) clearing this year, so no doubt clin sci(foundation year) WILL be in clearing, I have no idea about year 1, I've not been asked to help with that year.

Personally, if it's clin sci you want to do then I would ring them up again and explain to them your situation. You could always reject your offer for pharmacy and then enter clearing straight away on results day, however like muffin said it is a risk as clin sci year 1 may not be in clearing this year.

I wouldn't really think too much about what the pharmacy department will say if you reject them, clin sci will end up knowing about your offer as you'll have to ring up the uni and get released on results day if you decide to keep your pharmacy place! I know of several people that have had to be released from other uni's to come to Bradford, it's no biggie imo.

Hope I've been some help and good luck!

This is the reply i got from emailing them:

"Dear Mansoor

Thank you for your e-mail.

We can release you from pharmacy but you must be aware that it would be best to wait until you have your exam results. If we release now you may not be offered a place on Clinical Sciences because as yet, we do not know if there will be places available in Clearing. You should check on UCAS to see if the course is in clearing. You should then ring the clearing line on 01274 233779 to check if there are places. You should make sure that you WILL BE OFFERED a place on the course BEFORE being released by Pharmacy or you may end up without a place on any course as once Pharmacy have released you into clearing we will not be able to take you back."
