SAME well I got a B last year but still Chemistry is SO boring!!!!

I know, right?! I'm trying to force myself to enjoy it and am now revising chemistry hardcore as...well, I'd rather not completely fail and get a U (as I did in my mock a couple of weeks ago :s-smilie:

) What subject are you applying for?

I take A-level English lit., History and Theology & Ethics (otherwise known as RE, basically :tongue:

, although it is slightly different because it's about evaluating ethical theories and analysing meanings behind certain ideas in the Bible, rather than "RE" as in learning about the practices of different religions, which is what GCSE RE is like).

Last year I did AS Biology and Extended Project too, in addition to English lit. & History, and about a year ago I changed from AS Chemistry to AS Theology & Ethics and haven't looked back since!

My offer is from Worcester :heart:

- what about you?

Aaah, awesome (I've actually come to love English lit so much over my AS year!) Theology and Ethics sounds rather interesting (though I don't think I'd be able to solely analyse religious beliefs etc... and so I think philosophy is more for me).

I was loking into doing the EPG, but my school doesn't offer it. Looking back however, that may have been a blessing in disguise!

LOADS of people seem to have offers from Wocester! I originally applied to Keble but I have an open offer, so I could end up at any college which offers biology, really (though ironicaly, I'm statistcally most likely to end up at Keble :tongue:

Any Biologists or people from LMH lurking around here?

Classics & English so not a Biologist by a long shot, but LMH! :smile:

So it turns out that I applied to the least known Oxford college ever. The ONLY two Trinity alumni I have ever even heard of are William Pitt the Elder, who didn't even finish his degree, and Jay Gatsby, who's fictional... :p:

Think again: Harris Manchester is definitely a candidate for the least known Oxford college ever :smile:

.. They didn't even exist as an official college until 1996 or something :biggrin:

) What subject are you applying for?

I'm applying for PPE - which makes it extra difficult to motivate myself to learn about electrophilic addition as it's completely irrelevant, but I've got to the point no where I've completely given up trying to understand any of it and am literally just memorizing my CPG guide! Do you have an exam in January? :smile:

What?! You mean you've put yourself through such a hellhole of a subject without even needing it :eek3:

(PPE sounds awesome though). I consider chemistry a necessary evil on the enlightened path to studying biological sciences :tongue:

Thankfully my offer has actually given me the motivation to revise chemistry (bit late, but hey!) I have a chem and bio exam this January and am freaking out a little bit with all the need to get A*A and all that malarchy. CGP guides are lifesavers for chemistry! How many subjects are you taking?
