Computer Science

Hi,

I'm predicted AABC (one of the A's being general studies) at AS Level, and got 1A* and 10 A's at GCSE. What are my chances of getting on to a computer science course at a university like Birmingham or Warwick with these grades plus only as much knowlegde of computers as the average person?

Thanks

imo Warwicks fairly easy to get into, judging that a fair few people at the open day didnt have prior proper computing knowledge.
But then thats the reasons i didn't choose it.

Depending on what you class as 'proper computing knowledge'. Over half of the intake in my year had never programmed before starting the course.

Well i mean done something outside of standard computer stuff...aka web design...graphics...programming...or w.e.
Edinburgh and Southampton i found tended to want people whom had done such things whereas Warwick i felt they were just accepting anyone they could whom were getting the grades.

Could just be my impression though, no offense Warwick people =).

What have you done outside the "standard" computer stuff then? I really doubt that Edinburgh and Southampton cared if you had done or not, if you get the grades they let you in surely?
