Default Choosing your University - The Simple Guide
 
Hello and welcome to "Choosing your University - The Simple Guide" by Mr Morales.

Choosing which University to attend is one of the most important decisions you'll ever have to make in your life. I just don't think it's right that people must make such an important decision on their own, so I, Mr Morales and here to help make that decision for you with this very simple, easy to use, and user friendly guide.

Question 1: Do you consider yourself to be ambitious?

a) Yes b) No


(If you answered "Yes" please proceed to question 2. If you answered "No", please proceed to question 3.)

Question 2: What are your A level/Predicted grades like?

a) AAA b) AAB c) ABB d) BBB c) BBC e) BCC f) CCC e) Lower

(If you answered "AAA" please proceed to question 4. If you answered "AAB-ABB" please proceed to question 5. If you answered "BBB-BCC" please proceed to question 6. If you answered "CCC" please proceed to question 7. If you answered "Lower", please proceed to question 8.)

Question 3: Why do you want to go to University?

a) Because my parents want me to go. b) Because all my friends are going

c) I don't know.

(If you answered "a, b, or c" then you shouldn't be going to University. But if you really insist then look at Answer 1)

Question 4: Do you have a good personal statement, did you show real motivation for your subject?

a) Yes b) No

(If you answered "Yes", please look at Answer 2. If you answered "No", please look at Answer 3)

Question 5: Do you have a good personal statement, did you show real motivation for your subject?

a) Yes b) No

(If you answered "Yes", please look at Answer 4. If you answered "No", please look at Answer 5.)

Question 6: Do you have a good personal statement, did you show real motivation for your subject?

a) Yes b) No

(If you answered "Yes", please look at Answer 6. If you answered "No", please look at Answer 7.)

Question 7: Do you have a good personal statement, did you show real motivation for your subject?

a) Yes b) No

(If you answered "Yes", please look at Answer 8. If you answered "No", please look at Answer 9.)

Question 8: Are you sure you want to go to University?

a) Yes b) No

(If you answered "Yes", please look at Answer 10. If you answered "No" then you shouldn't be going to University)

The Answers:

Answer 1: London South Bank University.

Answer 2: The University of Oxford, or the University of Cambridge.

Answer 3: The University College of London.

Answer 4: The University of Edinburgh.

Answer 5: Queen Mary, University of London.

Answer 6: The University of Glasgow.

Answer 7: The University of Brighton.

Answer 8: The University of Aberdeen.

Answer 9: The University of Portsmouth.

Do not use this guide without thinking first. I will not be claimed responsible for any wrong decisions, this guide merely exists to help.

It's not called the "Simple Guide" for nothing. It took me long enough to make this. (5-10 minutes)

Oh God, I failed so badly I was sent to Answer 11: The University for Retarded Monkeys and/or Menaces to Society (aka. Jail). Oh ****, what do I do? I'm so scared I'll miss my offer. They want a dossier of my crimes and other questionable activities as well. How can I prove my crimes? Should I just send them fingers or something? Will they understand that it's pretty expensive to FedEx a coffin nowadays?

Moderators, you need to answer!

Why did this thread get moved from "University Discussion" to "Chat"?!

This is a University Guide!

So unfair!

Always with the helping aren't you.

It will probably please you to know that I got Glasgow. However, if you use the grades I was predicted/should have got if I wasn't so unwell then it'll be Cambrdge (not Oxford). Still, even with AAA you know I'll chose Glasgow over anything.

I can't speak for the moderator who moved it (it certainly wasn't me, I was asleep and not ashamed of that) but probably because it's a little spammy and not very serious
