Mature Students 2014 University Applicants

I've just finished my last exam, got home and thought, "ok, what do I need to work on next? ... oh, nothing." :biggrin:

Feels good. I only needed a merit in the exam to get overall distinction in this module, and it went pretty well. Provisionally I have 60 distinctions, but it won't be official until the external moderator has verified it in the first week of July.

I know the feeling. I left my last exam and I felt like I am FREEEEE! :colondollar:

I am now counting down the days until I can finally see if I have passed my Access course with MERIT.

We have a graduation ceremony for our Access course on Friday. To be honest though I'm more excited by the fact that I have now managed to read a book for pleasure rather than study purposes that had absolutely nothing to do with science in any way shape or form.

Don't get me wrong I thoroughly enjoyed the access course but it's so nice to have a life again :smile:

Couldn't agree more - it is so nice to be able to read for pleasure or watch television or whatever without feeling guilt for doing that when you should be working! I intend to make the most of it over the next couple of months before uni starts! Our Access presentation evening is next Wednesday.

Well after having a MASSIVE breakdown in my Biology exam and having to resit and learn two completely new topics in the space of a week, I got an email to say that I have PASSED!

WOOP WOOP!

Definitely got into uni now and can finally relax and enjoy the summer before my big move to Manchester! :biggrin:

Well done everyone!

We made it!

To study what?

Finished with 45 distinctions and 15 merits. Not too bad but my firm university choice wanted distinctions in specific units, which I've just fallen short of achieving.

What are my chances of still being accepted?

If I had gotten only the distinctions they wanted, it would have amounted to only 24 distinctions. Would the fact that I got 45 distinctions in total and no passes help boost my profile?
