Not taking higher english regret?

do you need english to do accounts at uni ?

I know, I was just pointing it out.


What was your C in, if you don't mind me asking?

there's a big difference between minimum entry requirements and actually getting in these days. for example, two people in my year were rejected from engineering at edinburgh with AAAAB and AAABB at higher. Also there was a guy on here was rejected from st andrews for physics who had AAAABB. it's a mad world out there....



I got an offer with AAAAC.

English.

I don't regret taking it though as it is important to improve your writing skills from SG.

Higher English isn't really required anymore for most sciency based courses. The little strathclyde woman I spoke to said that they don't really care about it.

But, I'm not trying to scare you...there's people with degrees in our college's nightclass higher english cos they can't get into things like teaching/managment jobs as they haven't done it.

It's challenging, but totally worth it. It develops your language, analytical skills and common sense. It's not really about getting the best grade, but more the skills you get from it. Think about it, and think about it beyond uni, will employers pick someone who's proved they can communicate well and got a decent grade for english as well as someone who knows their science, or someone who's just done sciencesciencescience?

Also, START WORKING ON YOUR PS ASAP!!! I worked on mine over the summer and got it done by october! Lol

niiiice.

but BBB at advanced higher :O ?
isnt that a bit far (or is that for 2nd year)

you already have to right grades... no?


where you planning on going?

would it be inpossible to go from a C to an A in chemistry? I did it in SG physics where i got a 3,3 in the prelim and a 1 in the final exam. Also how can i improve to argument bit of my history essays?

I'd just wanted to say, if it's not already been said, that we were told on Friday that Glasgow is going to start making it that you can only gain entry if you have sat the needed amount of higher in one-sitting. So for competitive course and science ones and such, you won't be able to do it over two-sittings. Or at least this is what my school has told us.
