    Oh, me too. I added you on skype! //possiblycreepy

    Your offer is BCC too I assume? Mine requires 2 science subjects. I can get a B in English/GeneralStudies/Chinese pretty easily I think, and I think with hard work I'll get a B in Biology, but it's Chemistry and Maths I have the problem with...I nearly failed Chemistry last year, along with the majority of my class because my Chemistry teacher was so utterley incompetant. Paying the price now!

    Haha, no that's fine! Good to make contacts beforehand

    My offer is 28 points at IB, which is harder to get than BCC, but I won't get into that rage again..

    Yeah, I'm most worried about chemistry and maths too; our first year chemistry teacher practically just stuttered at us all year!

    Good luck with getting grades and all.

    It's that time now, and I'm panicking a little - so I was just wondering, does anyone know what number I have to call if I don't get in, so I can grovel? Would it be Sussex or Chichester I need to contact?

    Thanks again guys.

    I think Sussex would be your best bet.

    Good luck with your results.

    Well, here's the day, and I didn't make the offer. Somehow, I managed to fail all of the maths exams I took, including the retakes. So now I'm not really all that sure what I want to do.
