It's ok don't worry. Besides a computing degree shows many other skills anyway. The fact that you've done a degree shows that you would have picked up similar attributes to other graduates just not to do with science. Maybe you should have put down your NVQ as it still shows your academic commitment but never mind now. You still definitely have a chance of getting in as long as you believe you do, otherwise its a lost cause. Keep going dude!

Doesn't everywhere ask for some science though? I never looked when I applied because I have always done science but surely everywhere except pre-med courses ask for some evidence of scientific ability?

Thanks I haven't sent my form off yet and will double check with the unis tomorrow morning to see what I need to put down in the qualifications section.

Then I will just keep hoping for the best

On the 5 year course you need science qualifications whether you are a school leaver or graduate but on the GEP some of the unis just ask for a degree and nothing else, they say on their prospectus that they do not consider GCSE's or A levels, this is why I wasn't going to put them in.

Some of the GEP ask for a specific science or health degree but others say any degree but you need to have relevant work experience.

I suggest you phone the unis before applying just to check, I remember when I applied some that said any degree still specified a pass in a science A level or something, don't want you wasting a choice.

Ok so here is the update...

I have rang several unis and UCAS, they all said you have to put ALL your results down!

Sorry for the misinformation before, I honestly thought because they say they do not look at your GCSE's and A levels that you did not need to put them down!

Anyway I am still applying for 3 GEP but also one pre med course now.

Good luck everyone

Good luck with your application. I thought that you would have to list everything, but was not certain so I did not offer my two cents!

Hey

I am applying to Unis where A levels dont really matter.

The thing is I remember my grades but not the exact modules within those subjects....I just remember the overall grade?

Is that fine or do you have to put the mark for each module?
Thanks
