In general it's pretty good. Initially you may feel like you're not getting much support but that's mostly down to the rest of students being very bright so the teachers don't always go at a slow pace. However if you actually try and ask a teacher to go over certain topics they would be more than happy to.

Hey there, I'm currently commuting 3 hours a day to get to my sixth form, it's not that bad, but when your alarm goes off at 6.20 it does make you want to cry!

No I left Tiffin last year. I'm on a gap year right now, hoping to start university next year
No worries man, it's always good to talk to someone who's been through it before you decide plus I got all excited when I saw Herschel Grammar in your post, brings back memories

Haha, that's what I keep telling myself! (The worst part is that I have to walk past the local sixth form to get to the station )

Not a problem

A level I achieved AAB (AAA as of January)
Yeah I'll admit, as a building it is far newer than tiffin's who interviewed you in Herschel?

that's awesome! what are you hoping to study?
and it was some old lady :P it wasn't even much of an interview
they had already picked students they wanted to accept so it was
just a matter of attendance

Medicine. lol old lady really narrows it down
Since you have an offer from tiffin I'm assuming you were interviewed by them too?

Resat one of my exams, volunteered at hospital and did an A level in chemistry. Interesting, when we got interviewed it was the head of sixth form. You know she used to be Langley's headteacher right?

My cousins went to Tiffin
One at boys, one at girls (both are at uni now)
Ones at Y10 at TB's atm
Ones joining Y7 in September

Its amazing but you have to be motivated to work otherwise you will fall behind..

I went to Kendrick...equally as competitive.

Wow you must have really impressed them then! I didn't know anything about tiffin when I went for mine . Usually if you get an interview it pretty much means you're guaranteed an offer from them. I think they just want to interview you to make sure you're not insane

Oh la la... I might even know you



Yeah it's alright, quite a jump though, UCL leave you to your own devices from the start - at least on my course anyway! So was a bit of a struggle but it's alright now... because it's the summer

So what do you do in geography in UCL? What are you learning about?
