So i'm currently 26, i study at a local college and had to pay £500 for my course. I'm around a month away from finishing my computer course with two distinctions and various other qualifications including ECDL and key skills, so i think you would agree that i have worked my back side off to get myself to uni yes?
Well i will be getting a total amount of UCAS points that will surpass the amount needed for my course, and all of the UCAS points are very relevant to the course. So at my age and with my qualifications you can see why i would be confident!
Well around 2 weeks ago, on this forum, i was asking why i hadn't been accepted or rejected from any of my universities. So it turns out after i had filled in my UCAS application, had it checked by the relevant people at my college and PAID FOR IT!!!!, my head of teaching "forgot" to put a reference on my application. Whats worse is the fact that the college knew about this and didn't bother to tell me until 3 months later!!!!!
So now even though i have more than enough relevant UCAS points, the kinf of age that most universities like, and basically worked my ass off to get to where i am now, i probably won't be getting on the course i want because of something completely out of my control.
I have contacted the university and they say that i sould get the college to email them and explain the situation and it may help my "late application" (i applied late 2009). Obviously the college are more than happy to help me (wow thanks, since you put me in the crap in the first place!!!) but i know i am not getting on that course now......this is why i hate this country, people are lazy, stupid and ignorant (which im sure you will agree has taken place on this occasion) i can't wait to get the right kind of job to leave GB!!!!
so any way........ what can i do? do i take legal action?
