Hey all,
Kinda new to this so sorry if this is wrong
Just really wondering if anyone knows what uni course they're going to take & what a-levels etc.
Please answer:
predicted GCSE grades:
A-levels you plan on taking:
University plans (if any) :
Which university:
Work experience:
My predicted grades are all A/A* and I plan on taking biology, chemistry and Spanish for definite next year, just unsure on my 4th :/ I hope to study either medicine/nursing/pharmacy at university hopefully in London, Bristol or Birmingham. I'm also taking part in extra-cirriculars to help myself 'stand out' from everyone:L
I've been thinking about the future a lot and just wondered if I was the only one?!

I think it'd be useful for you if you also take Maths at A-level, because I think it's quite important for the careers you want to go into.
predicted GCSE grades: Can't remember the exact ones but they're all A/A*
A-levels you plan on taking: Maths (hopefully Further Maths as well), Chemistry, Biology and French.
University plans (if any) : Medicine, most probably.
Which university: Hopefully, Cambridge.
Work experience: None yet, but I'm definitely getting some in a couple of months ad it's most probably just gonna be at a clothes shop or a pharmacy or even a supermarket, I'm not really picky about it.
Hope it helped
Well, I want to do medicine...though I'm scared I won't get enough A*s in my GCSEs. Currently, at the rate I'm going (not caring much...) I'm being predicted 5 A*s..hmm
My A-Level Options are: Biology, Chemistry, Physics and English Literature.
What degree I want to do: Medicine
What uni: Any Russell Group uni would be nice haha.
Work Experience: Nothing medicine related....but I once did a week of work experience at the House of Lords
How many A*s (in my GCSEs) do I need to be able to do medicine at a good uni??

Different uni's say different things but for Birmingham you need at least 8 A*'s including Maths, sciences and English lang/lit. It's also likely to go up by the time we're applying!:O

Predicted GCSE Grades:
A* Maths (got it in November and now doing an FSMQ), A* Biology, Chemistry, Physics, History, Geography, ICT, with As in English Lang/Lit and Spanish. At the moment, I'm on course for everything except Geography and Spanish.
A-Levels:
Further Maths, Maths, Physics, Computing and an EPQ.
University:
Looking to do Mathematics at Cambridge or Oxford, although I'll gladly go for Manchester or Warwick if I don't do too well in STEP.
Work Experience:
In terms of academic studies, I've self-taught myself 80% of the AS+A2 Maths syllabus and I hope to finish FP1,2 and maybe 3 in ~2 months; I have the textbook and a calculator, so it shouldn't be too strenuous I don't really have any work experience, but I don't really know of any to be had in maths. Somebody please tell me if there is, though!

I don't really have any work experience, but I don't really know of any to be had in maths. Somebody please tell me if there is, though!"Work experience" in maths isn't really a thing. You could tutor GCSE maths students or something, but that's about it. Neither common nor necessary to get into a top uni, anyway, but it could be helpful.
Good ECs like olympiad medals and stuff can be good too, but again not necessary. What's important is that you show that you're passionate about maths. Most top applicants do this by reading maths-related books and studying topics outside of the A-level syllabus.
Predicted grades: Art, English Language - A ; German, Geography, Physics, History, - B Maths and Biology - C ( I have done the whole GCSEs in one year, as I have done some other curriculum last year, so my grades would have been better)
A-levels you plan on taking: Art, Physics, Mathematics and Business Studies.
University plans: I want to do Industrial/Product Design
Which university: Coventry/Bournemouth/Loughborough/Huddersfield/Derby/something else
Work experience:Doing work experience this June, probably something linked to business.
