    Entitlement form? what's that?
    The piece of paper that says you're getting £9,000 tuition loan and whatever you're getting (£3500 in maintenance for me) for living costs

    Hello! Does anyone else living in the south west have an offer?
    My family doesn't have a car and I'm really worried about how I'm actually going to get there (if I get the grades) with all of my junk.
    Any thoughts please?

    Also, I got an offer to read Law at Tit Hall, just in case anyone else is doing the same.

    Jesus sent me an offer asking for a copy of my entitlement form for Student Finance - I basically copied the lot and sent it to them
    when did you receive it?

    I dunno, I'd check with them?

    I thought the deadline for it was a few months back but you should be fine if you've signed the guarantee form? Give them a ring to find out?

    So some of the IBers already know the results - fortunately, I am one of them and it seems like I'm officially going to Cambridge. ))

    It is a REAL relief after over a month of re-analysing every exam I took over and over again.

    I'm going to do Chemical Engineering via Natural Sciences at Trinity Hall.

    EDIT: omg, this sentence looks so wonderful without the word 'hopefully' in it <3
