    What are you applying for and will it be your firm?
    Can't believe I forgot to put that!

    BSc Computer Science, yes it will be my firm I was sold on a College day out to the Uni, can't believe how passionate the lecturers were.

    And the course actually looks awesome compared to some other Computer Science courses that look mainly like Java Schools!

    But I digress!

    I really liked Hull too on the open days, I am just unsure whether it will be my firm. It is between Hull and Greenwich... Are you going to an applicant day (or have they not sent the info yet if you have just been offered a place)

    Thanks, I live in Hull already (will be staying in Halls though at Uni) so won't be travelling far (15min walk haha)

    I'm lucky I've got a good Uni in my hometown

    Ah man , I though it was a personal message :/ Yeah same but \i already have the C so only need 2 B's.

    Because my chemistry grade can't be improved from a C I had to apply for quite low Uni's

    keele
    Hull
    Dundee
    Nottinham Trent
    Aberyswyth

    What about you?

    I did to, but I'm hardly suprised its not after all, still a nice touch

    I already had a C in maths, and I should improve it to a B in January hopefully & I'm taking fMaths, so I could be a little more ambitious than I thought.

    Hertfordshire: BBB
    Hull: BBC
    Liverpool: ABB
    Kent: Acknowledged
    Sussex: Nothing :mad:
