Snap, i've applied for that too :smile: I can't remember what the lecturer was like that I spoke too, but I don't think I found them boring!

I have no advice to give, I'm just happy I've found someone applying to the same course! Is this your first choice or what?

Yeah first choice :smile: but I've only applied for it once....
Hmm it's just at other open days the psychology lectures were way more interesting...
Where else you applied to?

I got B's in Rmps, Admin, Pe and A in Geography and this year I'm taking Higher English, accounts, business management and Food technology. I'm scared because I didn't take a higher science

Thank you! I'm sure you'll hear back soon, they seem to be going through them all just now. Good luck!
Just got a conditional for forensic psychology. Only got to get a C in any higher though, I'm so shocked since there is only 15 places and I only got ABBB last year... :biggrin: Oh and also got to get a C in any higher for psychology alone aswell, but I'd rather do forensic!
