The University 2009 entry thread!

No offers except the BioMedical Sciences offer From Queen's. Had to do Bio Unit 3 resit last Thursday. It went as I expected it to go. I wasn't prepared and the questions were that of which I've never seen before.

Had Critical Thinking on Monday, no comment on that. And I have my last resit day after tomorrow: Chemistry modules 1 and 3.

Yeah, we're forced against our will to do General Studies as well, which is basically the same as Critical Studies. Such a waste of time. And good luck in your Chem modules. Revising for Chemistry is so much better than revising for Bio. There's just too much to know for Biology (including the rubbish bits like plants). Anyways... I'm off now. Salaams.

February? I thought the date has past? I think it was last Wednesday? Or so I was told.

What're you doing now, in terms of studying?

If you think Pharmacy is for you, then go for it! Personally I would do some 'work experience' with a Pharmacist or Pharmaceutical Company, to see what it's like and if you can see yourself doing that in the future.

Make Istikharah on it... and if you still feel it's for you, then apply inshAllah.

I wish you all the best.

There are many who are in the profession of medicine and love it and there are those who absolutely hate it. Some like the demanding and rigorous work whereas the others don't. You need to experience what it is like to be a pharmacist and the work involved. And understand from that experience whether the career is suitable for you or not.

So at the moment, I'd say the same thing Banu Hashim said. Get some work experience.

:sl: Try working as a pharm tech at a drugstore and see how you like it inshaa'Allaah, if it isn't for you then switch to something you like.

Pharmacy is pretty good for a Muslim female who's interested in medicine because you can work very flexible hours, get paid really well (start at 80 k a year), and you don't have to necessarily touch the patients you just give them their medication. :)
 
Banu_Hashim said:
lol. I guess it's the thought that count's right ? :p

I guess, but it would be really hard working as a nurse and having to touch some non-mahram male patients. :\ As a pharmacist you can stand behind a counter and give people their medication. And you won't have to make time for your family because the hours are really flexible alhamdulilah. Same goes for a nurse, my Aunt is an anesthesiology nurse and she only works like 3 days and then 3 days off, and then the same thing over and over again alhamdulilah. She always has time for family. :)

When you're thinking of a career think about how it will affect your family, will it help, or will it hinder?

Inshaa'Allaah you guys make it to whatever programs and Universities you desire. :)

Allaahu 3alim.
 
I had my second interview today. Which went pretty great because I anticipated it to be like the first one, which unfortunately went terribly lol. No sweat...lol ?


On a sidenote: I learned it takes less time to do a professional degree in Scotland. I might seriously think of moving :/

I'm sure it's a very well respected uni:).

Do they give you conditional offers in the US? By this I mean that do they say you have to get a certain grade at the end of your high school year, or are you definitely in no matter what.
Click to expand...

lol.

American High Schools are full of distraught seniors who got accepted to the school of their dreams, decided to take the last semester off (after all they already got accepted :exhausted ), and then got a new letter saying that their dream school was no longer interested as they flunked out of everything.

Sad for them:cry:

but also kind of like "duh dude, what did you expect"

Wow. Well Done. Where was your second interview? This is for law right?

Oh really? I thought the average degree in Scotland took about 4 years compared to the 3 years in England.

lol that's what I was thinking. Although I have a good friend studying Neuroscience and it's slapping him around a bit, although he loves it at the same time.

Yeah, i can imagine it's quite tough. Where does he study?
 
hmm makes me wonder why I like Physics and Maths more than Chemistry and Biology (these are the two subjects that I, well...........really dislike)

but the rest of the population seem to like Chemistry and Biology more than Physics and Maths :P (I think I'm the only one lol! )

I really dislike mathematical subjects. And I really don't know why I took Maths for A-Levels!

I love Biology and Chemistry (more so chemistry). So much more interesting! (Well... I think so anyways:p)
