2016 Physics Applicants

I'm sort of applying for physics :biggrin:

A Levels chosen and predicted AS grades
Maths, further maths, physics, chemistry
AAAA

Edit: Got AAAA, predicted A*A*A*A* now :smile:

Favourite areas in physics?
Quantum physics :biggrin:

I like pretty much all area of physics. Electricity is a pain but it is interesting nevertheless...just a pain. A big one though. :ahee:

Best and worst exam
Edexcel Chemistry unit 2 and AQA Core 1 were the best.
Worst is AQA FP1 and physics unit 1 :lol:

Edit: Apparently I was wrong about Physics unit 1 :tongue:

Universities you're looking at
Cambridge, Edinburgh, Durham, Bristol, Imperial

Anything physics related you're doing/planning to do over summer?
A placement at a research lab, EPQ and reading

Hopefully neither of us will be starting a physics course next September :lol:

Oh yeah

I won't be either way, I'm not applying for straight physics anywhere :tongue:

Oh right, I did think you were more of a chemist :smile:

. You'd think as a physicist I'd like physical chemistry a lot more than organic, but organic can be pretty interesting.

I'm applying for chemical physics so a lot of physical chemistry :smile:

I may transfer to straight physics after fist year though, i will see
Organic seems to be interesting too but it didn't excite me as much as physical chemistry in AS level

Lol,so I guess you weren't moving energy levels when you did organic chemistry lol.

Physics, French and Biology. I'm think of getting my core 1 paper remarked.

what about you?

I got the 5As I wanted :smile:

. You should still be in a decent position applying to universities with an A in physics! I definitely recommend a remark if you genuinely feel you performed better than your mark shows

Oh no

Are you off to the other place then? They seem to give no damn to AS

Bonne chance :yy:

The other place? With a remark if its better i should still be in a good position. Otherwise im hoping my teachers will express how good i am at maths (trying not to sound big headed here, but i haven't handed in a homework with less than 100%)
