    Haha I'm applying to Cambridge and it's freaking me out because everyone on there's got A* and A and nothing else.

    I reckon Might Guy's pretty awesome but I need to watch the newer ones - filler episodes annoy the hell out of me :P

    I need to get it in fairly early because of Cambridge but other than that not too sure - probably as last minute as possible in case I want to make changes.

    Subject: Chemistry

    AS: AABB (Geography, Maths, Biology Chemistry respectively), oh and I am also doing AS Further Maths this year
    Predictions: AAAA

    I LOVED the look of Southampton! The only thing is, is that its only like 50 mins away from me, so not too far away from where I live... :L

    Snap! Just recieved my letter today and I am liking the sound of the scholarship. I've been told by a lot of people that Southampton's really lovely so it'd be good to see for myself.

    I want to apply to read English at Southampton but I just checked the entry requirements on UCAS and they've changed from AAB to AAA while the grades stayed the same on their website! I tried phoning up but they weren't very helpful at all. Can anyone help?
