I heard this story too that Pharmacy is very insanely competitive to enter and to study in, and there was a case when someone got 4 As with 2 distinctions in S paper but B4 in GP got rejected 10 years back .

Im surprised that chemical engineering now only requires BBCB to enter, in my years need at least AAB to enter. i got AABC b3 and was accepted, but my friend who got ABBC wasnt. That was in the 2000s. Perhaps now more are inclined towards computing studies already. Heck, i switched to a teaching career after graduation though hahaha.
