Diagnostic radiography 2014

I'm really stuck over whether to firm Liverpool and insure St Georges (both BBB) or vice versa, does anyone have any opinions that might sway it? :smile:

I don't know much about either uni tbh but if I was stuck between them two I'd go for liverpool. London is just so expensive and even though you get a little extra finance, if you're not well off I imagine being a student in london is hard! Especially as radiography is such a full course with placements etc. you probs wouldn't have loads of time for a decent part time job to help either. Just my thoughts :smile:

That is a really valid point actually, thanks :smile:

I think I'm leaning towards Liverpool, I also get the impression the "student experience" will also be better as it's not in london, still got a few more days to make up my mind though

Why would you insure somewhere that's asking for the same grades as your first choice?? That's risky!

Yeah I think liverpool would be more fun! You can always move to london once you're qualified maybe :smile:

Good luck x

If your offer is conditional to you achieving a C in English and maths you must get a C to meet the offer for your place. If it isn't conditional to you achieving a C then it shouldn't matter what grade you get. Does that help? :-)

My exams are in June, I am worried if I don't get C in maths and English :frown:

I heard that I can do equivalency test if I don't get C in Christchurch.. Some students are doing GCSE equivalent in mid kent college and I was shocked they are not going full GCSE and they already secured a place at Christ church. Does anyone know if I can do equivalency test??

You might be allowed to do the equiverlancy test if you meet the A-level requirements, but if you dont get a C at gcse maths and get in, I'd recommend working through one of the physics for radiography books in the summer so you can cope with the maths :/

What if I do well in maths and not in English, will I still be able to do equivalency test for English??

I don't have any offers lower than BBB so it would either be the same grade insurance or no insurance at all. It makes sense to have a insurance incase I just miss my grades and if the firm don't take me there's a small chance the insurance might :smile:

Sure if you have another university offer that's not conditional to you getting a C in maths and english, that'd be a good idea :smile:

Hi, I presume you are doing your GCSE Maths and English alongside A levels?
Try not to worry too much, if there are particular areas in those subjects which you are struggling with why don't you speak with your teachers? They may be able to help.
Also, you probably know more than you think and you're panicking a little now the exams are close. Don't be too hard on yourself about this - good luck
