    Happy I'm not the only one who goes to pot in exams. Where abouts do you come from? Are you from Wales as you've applied for Aber and Bangor?
    Nope not from Wales, I'm from Derby...well Derbyshire really, about 13 miles up the A38 from Derby but it's easier to say Derby.

    I've applied for Aber and Bangor as I don't want to stay local and I don't want to live in a huge city such as Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool etc. I've noticed that the Welsh uni's requirements tended to be lower than English ones that aren't as good as the Wlesh ones.

    My other choice, Lincoln, is my 'near home' choice as I'm a self confessed Derby County nutter (home/away, league/cup etc I'll be at the match). If I went to Lincoln I could still get to most matches, Aber/Bangor wise I wouldn't be able to.

    Fee's wise I'd love to come from Wales with my choices!!

    Thank you! You too And I think so. They want 25 IB points and I'm predicted 37-40 so I think I'll be alright (I hope so at least!). Yourself?

    So you're smashing your conditions then!!! That's amazing.
    My offer is for 280 UCAS points, with a B & a C. It's achievable if I work to what I'm capable of working at so fingers crossed.

    I can only guess and say yes, but then your question said do I think....hmm. I'll ask the uni's on their facebook pages. I'll post back here when I hear/read any news.
