    Not exactly sure how this thing works but there's nothing online to give me hope :(
    We got our choices for science back like, three weeks ago and I didn't get my first choice, which was Zoology. The head of science is out till the end of August but I'm literally walking up the walls with nerves. Does anybody know if that's it now, I'm definely not getting into it? It's literally the only reason I'm in science, the only thing I want to do but I've been told I can't even repeat first year if I've passed, which is ridiculous. Is there a high drop out rate for the subject maybe? Anybody have any advice at all pleaasseeeee

    It isn't ridiculous that you cant repeat first year having passed all first time round. Its the same with any year. First year doesn't count towards degree but that rule is to stop people repeating years to try get better grades for their degree even if they've passed
    Contact Science department. See if you can go on a waiting list....
    You never know about getting a place. I wouldn't say you definitely wont get into it now.

    Zoo has a low amount of people wanting to do it usually. It's not the most in demand subject, but maybe the class size is smaller too.. Not sure why you didn't get in but there are always people moving about at the start of second year so keep your fingers crossed. It's important to go into the college of science offices to talk to them about it, they will help you out. It's first come first serve for people looking to change what subjects they have so get in at your first chance, since it means a lot to you. If someone then changes out of zoo you will be top of the list to take their place.

    You never know what will happen. I got zoo but now I'm regretting not taking micro so I might change if I can.
    Was told there's more opportunities with micro career wise and nothing with zoo, so that's what's had me doing a rethink.
    I'd imagine there will be choping and changing come September too.
    Mostly everyone in first science seemed to be going for zoo so maybe that's what happened.
    Still can't believe I got it, must have got some grade on sem 2 exam is all I know.

    Keep the faith
