Same :emo:

My school really is terrible when I think about it :colonhash: Maybe not in terms of teaching quality, but they have NOTHING ELSE :frown:
Guys should I consider retaking my As in my Sciences or do Med Schools really dislike retaking?

An A isn't going to **** you over, but I doubt retaking when you already have an A would discourage med school :biggrin:

Although you know that you don't get your best grade when you resit? You get the resit grade even if it's worse than your original. Not that I doubt that you could get an A*, but there's some risk nevertheless.

I'm not at all interested in doing Med, so I really have no idea. I found all the GCSE entry retirements for different universities here though, if that helps. :smile: From the looks of thinks, with an A (qhich is a fantastic grade, bye the way. Well done :biggrin:) The only university that wouldn't take you is Birmingham, so you'd still have all the others open to you :smile: I don't think they'd mind if you retook if you already had an A, so I guess it's up to you really.

Similar ones, but they're not as informative nor as well maintained :frown:

EDIT: Here's the one for maths :smile: It says nothing about GCSE requirements though.

God damn bias :lol:

I don't understand how Medicine is so popular :colonhash: It's damn well not scientific interest or there'd be a similar amount of people doing Chemistry, if not Physics :pierre: And there are plenty of more well-paid subjects.

God damn social stereotypes :rofl: "Ooooh, Medicine is the best subject because you save lives." We'll see just how many people would be alive today if it weren't for the Industrial Revolution :colonhash:

Oh really? Damn I'm not sure then, I still have a chance of A* but I need all A*s from now on, I'd just hate to miss the grade by a small bit. Maybe I should just revise massively for the last units

Sorry, for it is just Scientific interest plus my mother talking about her job but from a young age, a nurse didn't really appeal to me but the talk of the actual Doctor's got me into it.

That's not true :tongue: At least not for our year. Best mark counts, always. Otherwise, why would schools risk putting people in for a resit unless they did ridiculously badly?

Come on... suits are cool :awesome:

They can be seriously attractive on the right person xD

Original post by dinrah04
I really like them o;

Plus, they're part of our uniform

Oh wow haha, like a full suit with jackets and ties and everything? That's pretty awesome. Our sixth form have a "business meeting" dress code but everyone just turns up in casual clothes.
