Maybe try making a mind-map of all the reasons why you've enjoyed Chemistry A-Level and why you feel the university courses (do some research) excite you?


Dude. I love you. Arent you one of the many nutters off the shiny revision thread who does F.maths?

I'm also applying for 2012! Im mega excited.. can someone help though.

I know you get 5 Choices, or the one if you'd like, BUT, Do you HAVE to apply for 5? Or can I apply for 2/3/4?

Thanks

AFAIK, you dont HAVE to apply for 5.

will just go and have a looksie on the UCAS website.

UCAS
You don't have to add five choices

There's space for five choices, but you don't have to use them all - you can apply for just one if you know exactly where you want to go.

Only add choices you're sure about - if you wouldn't be happy going to one of them, see if there's somewhere else, or apply to fewer choices: you don't have to fill up the space.

If you apply to fewer than five choices, you can add more later if you want to (but be aware of the deadlines for adding choices - see when to apply). This can be useful if you find a new course after you've sent your application to us.

No, you don't have to apply for 5. Some internationals students often just pick one... easier to cater the PS I guess.

Personally I don't see why one would want to apply for less than 5. It gives you more chances and it won't hurt to apply... it's not like you have to do more work if you choose another university as a low-risk option. :smile:

ah, its ok. I think, well hope, that by the time we're applying/ at university we have the emotional maturity to not really care how old someone is! And that i dont end up with a repeat of secondary school i.e. being bullied mericlessly for...5 years.

do not, honestly, know how you cope. I've been told by one of the lasses doing F.maths, so shes done C3 and 4 this session to 'Not do A2 maths, you WILL kill yourself'. Which, considering I had to resit C1, shes probably right.
It costs less if you only choose 5 and people that are 100% sure they only want to do medicine often pick only 4 choices with the full intention of reapplying if they receive no offers.

Well this year I have done Maths AS and Further Maths AS, so I haven't had the joy of C3 and C4 yet! :colone:

Aye, it will be fine. Nobody notices if someone is a year or two older. We had several people who were older in our flat this year. I know how you feel though. I was 18/19 and still didn't want to be in class with 18 year olds :lol:

On that note... I'll be 17 and a few months when I get into uni... will this put me at a disadvantage - social-wise? I know that in freshers week people go for pub crawls and the like, but I'll be too young to drink, and besides I don't like alcohol. :/

Plenty of flat-parties going on. Obviously you won't be able to go into town unless you look a lot older or just get hold of a fake ID though.

I'm not keen on getting wasted either.
