want to read your teacher's UCAS reference about you?

i just phoned up UCAS asking if I could have a copy of the UCAS form sent to me (so i can read the reference obv) and they were like 'sure just send us £10 and we'll give you all the info we have on you'. so guys and girls, if you werent allowed to read your reference by your cruel teachers, just send a £10 cheque made payable to 'UCAS' to

UCAS
PO Box 28
Cheltenham
Glos
GL52 3ZA

with a little covering letter saying something like 'dear sir/madam, please send me a copy of my UCAS form along with any other details you have about me, under the terms of the Data Protection Act. i enclose £10 for the processing fee. my ucas number is xxxxxx, yours faithfully, xxxxx'

I read mine before it was sent off... my teachers were pretty flattering... it was basically a massive exageration. But I suppose everybodies reference is exagerated and says about the same thing.

I found out later that there were two spelling mistakes which I hadn't noticed... I have got 4 offers so far so it doesn't seem to have had an effect luckily...

I was told to address the letter to Mr Ken Horsburgh

i refused to let my tutor do my refernece cos he barely knew me etc and i got one of my other teachers to do it(who didn't have a tutor group so i think she only wrote 2) and they were fine about letitng me read it and adding suggestions. Its a bit meen of some teachers to refuse you access to it but their references might be more objective.

IMAGINE OF I GOT A TEACHER TO WRITE MY REFERENCE!!!!

"MASKALL IS SUCH A LOVELY, SWEET INNOCENT CHILD WITH A BRILLIANT PERSONALITY, SENSE OF HUMOUR, ATTITUDE AND WORK ETHIC. HE IS EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT, AND INFACT WE WORSHIP HIM AS THE GOD, THE MESSIAH.....HE IS OUR RELIGION. WE LOV HIM......HE CAN EVN BE IN A PEAR TREE ON CHRISTMAS DAY. E.G.) AND A MASKALL IN A PEAR TREE!!!!!"

In the real world:
'Maskall is a complex chap: infinitely contracdictory and stupid in his manner and certainly an annoyannce to any unfortunate soul who has happens to be in his presence. In a seemingly paradoxical way during a class discussion, Maskall highlighted that I was a racist, white upper class guy who resented foreigners. Yet, soon after, he targeted a pupil of a Pakistani origin making misinformed, generalised references to the cornershop ethos of the race in question (refer to an old thread peeps if you think I am making this up). He has the tendencies of a crony and once said to a teacher, 'I will suck you lolly for a grade or two.' The teacher then had to restrain Maskall for fear of being subject to his sexual advances. In summary, I am sure, as you see, that Maskall is the epitome of all that is wrong with this school/college. I hope you are fortunate enough to have the wisdom to value your institution's reputation too.'

beat that Maskall

I FIND IT IRONIC THAT THE CORNERSHOP RACIST REMARK WAS BORN FROM TYPICAL WHITE MIDDLE-UPPER CLASS PEOPLE.

AND WHATS THAT CRAP ABOUT THE LOLLY?

AND I DOUBT THAT OXBRIDGE WILL LOOK DOWN UPON A PERSON WITH SOME PERSONALITY, UNLIKE YOU BORING FAGGOTS WHO JUST SIT BEHIND A BOOK AND PRAY TO GOD.

Lolly ...Oxbridge material here
Maskall, the more you bang on about Oxbridge, the more painful a possible rejection will be.
And don't say that remark came from me ...I have a memory like an elephant and remember you saying something like that to Adshur

"EYE FOR AN EYE....A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH...."

I FIND IT FUNNY HOW YOU CAN COMMENT ON OTHER PEOPLES CHANCES. VERY FUNNY FLUFFY....

so if i pay £10 now (i hvnt been interviewed yet) will i have to pay another £10 to get interview notes?

Hellow fellow philosophy student! where are you applying and what for? Nice essays btw

'an eye for an eye etc.'

so, by adopting that idealogy, I am sure you are in perfect agreement with the war on terror then?

no i am not becoz it was afghanistan who did sep 11th, (or so tehy said) and not iraq.

if you read teh enws, there was completely no link with iraq on that.

and there was zero evidence of weapons of mass destruction.

as evident now.

so there was zero justification 4 the most pointless war in history.

i havent ehard of iraq going to america and trying to blow the whole nation up first and steal their goods.......

Yet Iraq had links to al quieda
