They were ok. For geography they were very high (Only dropped 5 ums across the whole as level)

Biology and maths averaged around 90% with Biology only at 85%.

Why not drop Biology then? Or take all 4 to A2?

I was going to take all 4 to start with, but my teachers told me that past students that have done that have not been very successful with all 4. so after about a week of it i dropped geography as i felt i would be better at the biology A2 course

hey, im hoping to do chem eng next year too, list of unis is bath, nottingham, birmingham, sheffield and leeds as it stands. Was also thinking of manchester but any advice on the course as its the only uni that seems to offer a 4 year MEng course with a year in industry, rather than a 5 year course at the other unis, whats different?

With Manchester you undertake distance learning during the year in industry. So overall you cover the same academic material as a normal 4+1 course in the 4 years.

hey sorry this may sound like a stupid question but what do you mean by distance learning, also do you think that its better than a 5 year course or makes no difference etc?

Online. A bit like an Open University course.

Here's the specifics for Year 3 (including year in industry):

I think it's a good idea, but just be aware that obviously the work load is quite high. You have a 9-5 (ish) placement, plus the distance learning to juggle time wise.

Predicted A*AA in Maths Chemistry and economics. I wanted to apply for UCL but they wanted physics AS and for some reason my school isn't offering physics AS ... Basically my point is I've got a really strong personal statement but is it worth applying for UCL or am I dreaming?
