haha my method is just to keep my expectations really really low; that way I either won't be disappointed or I'll be pleasantly surprised :P

do you have any offers already? i've got a reduced offer to southampton so at least I know I'll (most likely) be going to uni next year XD


That's what I'm trying to do, but when I have friends at the Uni, emails to get all of these forms done, and I'm already in love with the History course it's so hard. The only thing keeping me sane is my crippling insecurity because of my awfully bad grades. :biggrin:

I have one from Manchester! :biggrin: AAA or AAAB (with an A in EPQ)

Well I mean, they can test me all they want, I'm 100% authentic so we'll just have a nice in-depth discussion about the influence of the Protestant Reformation on modernity :wink:

I'm really fussy - or as a personality test said, my best quality is my prudence - so I had to evaluate each college down to the finest detail and just happened to settle on the most difficult one :redface:

Martin Luther is one of my favourite Historical figures ever

I will literally grovel at their feet if they're the world leading expert on Martin Luther

I'm not even joking

My brother just applied to one randomly - he chose St Catz with no reason, he just randomly chose a name????
Tbh though, he only applied to Cambridge so he could turn them down.
