    Hey, I worked at a call center too...it's not THAT bad! XD (But well, it's not uni ) I want to give you a big hug right now - can't wait for when we see you next year! :3 Let us know when you decide to crash next time ^^
    Your right, its not bad at all, but I was just trying to put things in perspective.

    But you're right...if you were spoonfed a lot at school (especially if you came from a private sixth form college - nothing against them, I spent my GCSE and A-level years there) then the self-motivated learning thing may take a while to get used to. You actually have to go up to your lecturer and ask to see them during office hours, et al. (Effort? Zut alors! -mock horror- xD)
    We had the same thing when alot of my school moved on to sixth form. Loads of my old schoolmates used to complain about the lack of support, low teaching hours, too much spare time etc etc. You get so used to people helping you at every turn that it makes it that much harder to work under your own steam; Its not too easy to adjust

    Ehehe, my signature holds all my degree info - as well as the fact that it's mentioned on the first post on this thread that I'm a resident advisor as I'm a fresher. Long story short, though, I'm a first-year Biomedical Engineer. :3
    Oh,I didn't really read through the first posts.Anyway,I applied for biomedical engineering so can you tell me about it?Do you like it?What is the percentage of math,physics and biology involved?Can you give me an example about a project you did or your future plan?Would appreciate the help

    And yet I haven't received anything at all.


    I am beginning to think that they are sexist.

    awww I hope they'll get back to you soon they got back to me really quickly though, I was surprised. how do you think you did in the exercise? did you manage to solve all 6 questions? they told me I got qn 5 right but my proof wasn't rigorous enough, which I knew but that's a proof anyway

    Yes I solved all the questions with perfect (according to my knowledge) proofs except maybe question 4, the one with patterns. I did that one with simple common sense logic rather than a proper mathematical proof.

    Do they actually give you a full summary of how you did in the exercise?

    Hello there!

    I haven't found a thread for those of us who plan to apply for 2012 yet, so I thought I'd create one. It is, of course, still early days yet (though last years applicant thread was created in May...)!

    Discuss courses, AS results, pre-application anxiety, conditional offer anxiety, post-exam anxiety, cakes (:rolleyes:) etc.

    Below is a list of 2012 Applicants. Please feel free to add yourself to The Stalking Page as well.

    If you want to be on "The List" quote this post with:

    Username: [your username]
    Subject: [the subject you're applying for]

    (If you do change your mind and want to be taken off "The List", let me know!)

    now i'm getting nervous
    I know they don't give interviews... but any form of contact to be sure that I am being considered would be nice

    do you know if other biology offers/rejections were made?
    I only know that my friend hasn't heard anything for Biochem yet, sorry...but don't worry!

    I've had an offer for Biology. I am studying for the IB diploma, my offer is 38 with 6s in higher level chemistry and biology
    Do they interview biology for sure?

    mmmk... no, actually I requested for some general feedback and specifically asked about question 5 and that's it. so they said I did very well and got qn 5 right although the proof wasn't rigorous. I'm quite sure I got the other questions right so I didn't ask
