Help me choose my LAST CHOICE lovely people :D

GLASGOW

it is awesome =D

not BBB but still awesome =D

You got really good grades, aren't you aiming a bit too low? (bbb?) I think your lowest should be aab or abb

I see your point, but given that the way we apply to university atm is really a massive gamble, an offer from a BBB university could really be what gets someone into uni.

Now if we applied to universities after we got our A2 grades, life would be so much simpler.

Alas, we are forced to gamble

I don't know if it's still the same, but when I applied to glasgow I was told that if my predicted grades were good enough, I'd get in, no matter what personal statement and reference was!

That's the thing, innit. Some places are really big on references, personal statements, extra-curriculars etc. Some places don't give a **** as long as you get the grades.

I think it should be grades and references only, unless you are applying as a mature student, getting onto a course with relevant experience or applying for something that requires portfolio work.

I'm sure the admissions officer at X University really doesn't care how much charity work I've done or how many times I've captained whatever sports team as long as I get the grades the university want.

I'm 99% sure they don't look at references or personal statements, I got an offer like a day after applying!

And i'm having the time of my life here!! DEF APPLY TO GLASGOW

I would but I can't understand Scottish.

If the girls there look like Karen Gillan then I'll apply...

Hmm I mean I know Edinburgh is BBB but its ridiculously competitive and Exeter and East Anglia are AAA

As for the course, I am one of those people that seriously LOVES all types of literature so it's not too hard to choose but I'd like a uni with a nice atmosphere which is kinda why I was put off applying to Warick (heard there's lotsa snobbery though would love to be proven wrong!) and Durham (especially since they look at your GCSEs and mine were pretty standard)

Ohh to hell with it, I'm choosing an AAB instead of another BBB- hmm Leeds or Lanacaster...

As for my BBB, I like the prestige of Aberdeen and the sounds of the course but I may well go for Aberystwyth instead
