Yipee! I can join too now
Has everyone decided where they're going?
Has everyone decided where they're going?
I firmed St Andrews over Dundee (:
As for what we're looking forward to..
Most:
- Moving out and being independent.
- Learning stuff again o: I'm on a gap year and have felt a bit useless.
- Meeting new people.
- Dissection (:<
- Having the chance to join societies etc.
Least:
- Being so far from my boyfriend. By the time I start he'll be a second year at Warwick. At the moment it's fine as Warwick's just over an hour away by car.. but from St Andrews? That said, he's already put a load of money aside so he'll be able to afford the train / plane so it should be ok..
- Money. It looks like my student loan won't cover my accommodation costs by about £1200 -.-

Yeah - I was like oh okay I guess that's the end of my application to this uni then :P.
It was a pretty horrific section 2! I hated every second of it!

That's exactly what the examination officier said when he gave me my results! He was like "hmm fairly good pass.. I suppose you can't be perfect at every section..." I was just like shut up, I'm ecstatic with that score!
DA was actually my best subject in all my mocks - but by the end of the exam I was getting more tired, and I was getting rather annoyed with the building work going on outside the window!!

Haha what a joker! I know what you mean, but it happened the other way round for me, VR was my best and it turned out to be one of my bad ones
Did you complete all the Situational judgement questions at the end? I was so impatient to get my UKCAT score that I answered a few then just skipped then and ran out!
