Sixth form results- Waiting List?

well if you're on a waiting list it means that your place possibly depends on your gcse grades at the end of the year

yeah maybe you'll get an interview or something?

Depends on how popular the school is. If it's quite a popular school with lots of candidates applying the unlikely. I was put on a waiting list for one sixth form and never heard back from them regarding the place so I went elsewhere. Then again, there were over 700 applicants that year for around 200 places.

For this one, it's about 150 applicants for 50 places. Is that really unlikely then?

It depends on your predictions and how popular the subjects you've chosen are. Don't lose hope though! I was really upset about being put on the waiting list for one school but I'm so happy at my current school that I can't really complain.

I'm the typical triple science, double maths candidate so yeah, I guess it's unlikely. Ah, well
Hmm, really? That makes me feel slightly better about the whole thing, thanks I got offers from two other schools, so maybe I'll be happier there?

You never know though, people may decide to go elsewhere and you'll get a place. Just stay realistic about the whole thing and focus on the fact you've still got two other places to go

Yeah, I was really nervous to start year 12 at a new sixth form as few of my friends from my old school were going but I've made some amazing friends. It's alright because everyone is in the same boat and people generally are a lot more maturer at sixth form.

That is true, I didn't really think about that. And yeah, I will, thanks

Yeah, I'm really excited for sixth form! It sounds like it's going to be amazing

Yeah, sixth form is great if you meet the right people

You said you were doing sciences and maths, right? I do biology and chemistry so feel free to PM me for any help/information on these subjects too.

Oh, really? What happens if you meet the wrong people?

Ooh, awesome Just one question- on a scale of 1-10, how hard is Chemistry?

Pretend they don't exist

About an 7/8 if you enjoy chemistry. It's my best subject at the moment, I've recently just got an A in my unit 1 mock If you keep on top of what you're learning, make sure you learn the basics and practice questions then you'll be fine. I actually find biology much harder as there's so much content to learn!

Oh, wow, that's really good! And thanks for the advice
Uggh, yeah, I've heard that Biology is 75% memorisation D:

Biology is essentially like learning a whole new language!

Oh, wow. That sounds like a lot of hard work D:

In all honesty, all A Levels are a lot of hard work. The trick is managing your time, starting early and asking for help when you need it. By no means are they easy but it's certainly manageable!
