So what do you have to do? Research some topic and then make a presentation on it to lecturers/professionals in that field?

BTW: WHY DID YOU CHANGE THE COLOUR OF YOUR USER NAME???

It looked really cool! :love:

So what made you go for this particular topic? Previous research? Interest?

Thanks :love:

How the f*** did you manage to get 4 rejections????? :lolwut: :afraid: :cry:

Amazing academics, amazing UKCAT!


Why thank you :smile: but unfortunately many good applicants don't get in first time round as you will probably know. I feel that I didn't apply to unis which complemented the strengths of my application. The worst thing was when I got feedback from st Andrews, they said if I had selected the Manchester campus I would have gotten an offer :frown:

Anyway after a full round of ucas under my belt I am surprisingly knowledgeable about almost everything related to your application so if anyone has a query just quote or inbox me, I'll be happy to help :smile: I also have a lot of friends who got offers so if I don't know, I'm sure they will.

Wow that's harsh! (the Manchester campus thing)

Have you decided where you're going to apply this time round then?

Best of luck :biggrin:

I know - one of my chemistry teachers was telling us really cool stuff about dogs consuming car antifreeze (Ethane-1,2-diol) and thus, they have to be fed bottles of pure vodka via a funnel to get rid of that alcohol.

Really cool :cool:

Kinda separate but it is in there. They teach you the basics and then tend to build up as you go through the systems.
