Computer Science, i've wanted to read up on it throughout the summer but the thought of not getting to Uni has just made me avoid it as it seems pointless
Ohhh for computer science then Swansea is an amazing backup choice - they hit WELL above their weight for employment post degree, have work placement options available and a foundation year if things go horribly wrong, their students rate them really highly, they're pretty good at offering accommodation to clearing intakes, the campus is lovely with some awesome new developments, lovely old buildings and the closest beach to any university campus in the UK (have a look http://www.swansea.ac.uk/virtual-tour-stand-alone/ ).
Can someone help me in explaining the protocol when it comes to taking up an AS this year? Basically, I want to take up an AS and an EPQ but I'm not too sure how. Should it be from my school or privately etc?
Nobody can actually add a clearing place til 3pm so although lines open earlier people will be getting multiple offers at this point and not all of them will choose SOAS
If you have the grades then call them, there is no way to know how kany other people are calling or exactly how many spaces there are but if you call before 3pm you probably have a good chance
Oh okay Was worried there Thought all the places could be finished especially since I don't get my results till 11
I think PSYA4 is decent - 61 for an A* which I am DESPERATE for, or at least an A (that's the only Psychology result I need, as I took PSYA3 last year - this year is a retake for PSYA4). But I mean, the annoying thing about AQA Psychology is you think you've done well but their making is sooo harsh
So true 😥 I'll feel really disappointed if I don't get the A* because my teachers had so much (too much) confidence in me. I feel like I've let people down haha

I had that last year! I was always getting really high marks in practise essays and mock exams, etc. but low and behold, the one time it mattered, I ended up with a B overall. Hopefully will have done much better this year! Don't worry too much about other people's expectations though, you won't let anyone down - worry about you, how hard you worked and how proud you can feel regardless!

They accepted me when I put them as one of my 5 choices but sadly when I visited the environment and campus didn't give me that feeling I needed for 3/4 years sadly.

I'm sure you've done really well 😊 The grade boundaries aren't great, but I hope we've done enough! I'm going to avoid my psych teacher tomorrow though 😂
Anyone else *****ing aqa Chemistry unit 4? 76/100 for an A FML!!
also the chem6 empa has 3 mark grade boundaries :'(
Yeah I am very surprised. I personally found it okay, but the uproar about it made me think the grade boundaries would be rock bottom. But examiners are weird.
