Current Year 13 Thread (2013/14) - Mark I

Haha, well I'm sure she'll be thankful.

So much hate for her tonight I don't think I can bear it I better get some shut eye before I end up in tears

Crap AS grades though, so my hopes are pretty dashed.

Define crap!

I'm gonna sleep now, and my sisters wedding is tomorrow... So I might be on for a bit but yeah...

Night guys

Don't worry, I think she's amazing

You've got to be her biggest fan I think some recognition is deserved

AAAB, only 269/300 in chem.

Night.

Meh it's what I got with only one subject, maths, getting over 90%. You could still apply to almost any uni though. I'd say every except Cambridge maybe Oxford, Imperial as well

Ellie Goulding's at number 1 in the official charts with 'Burn'.

I'm so happy right now, I just want to thank everyone who's supported her, her first ever UK number 1, and surely not her last.

So your saying I shouldn't bother applying to Oxford or Imperial?

I don't know. I'm not, but I am applying to Durham which is remarkably similar. Might be easier with interviewing universities and unis with a test if you can appear passionate and do well in the test. Are you applying for chemistry? If so Oxford has quite a high success rate (almost 40%) and 95% get to interview.
As I said, it's mainly Cambridge that I wouldn't apply to

I am applying for chemistry, yes. I think my PS will be okay, I have done extra reading and I did the C3L6, and my GCSEs are okay (6a*,3a,1b, 4a* in btec). If I drop the B subject and have 3as to A2, I hope they will just not really take into account the B in AS. I should be predicted A*A*A. But I don't want to waste an offer if it is hopeless.

I'm thinking Bristol, Warwick, Manchester, Oxford (maybe), Imperial (maybe), Durham (maybe), Edinburgh (maybe).

Yeah you're pretty similar to me, but hedge your bets by applying to 1/2 high risk unis, 1/2 medium risk unis and 1/2 low risk unis.
Your results are pretty similar to mine, same AS grades, same GCSE A*s and I think I'll be predicted A*AA - A*A*A. Although I'm applying for physics.

My profile will be:
Durham (A*AA offer) HIGH risk
Birmingham (A*AA offer) Highish risk
Nottingham (AAA - A*AA offer) Medium risk
Sheffield (AAB offer) Lowish risk
Liverpool (AAB offer, but was in clearing with BBB offer) LOW risk

So for you I'd apply to any three of Oxford, Imperial, Durham and Edinburgh then another two our of the ones listed. I see Warwick and Manchester are especially safe for you. If you think you'll be predicted A*A*A then that's 4 grades above their standard 3 year course entry requirements!! Unless you love them I'd go for something more ambitious. There's safe and there's not being satisfied. Although they're all very good Russell Group universities.
What were your UMSs out of interest?

I like Ellie Goulding too, but why did you post this here?

that's awesome, I love the song as well, very catchy

Don't bother with that CJG guy, he just hates everything.

Have you seen the halcyon days sampler yet? You my everything sounds way better than I anticipated and goodness gracious sounds like an absolute tune

I've noticed but he likes chemistry so I'm at a crossroad

Nope have you got a link

Ahah, I would've liked chemistry if I took it but I can't get over the fact he hates maths

Very nice and yeah that's fair enough! I really wish I'd done Psychology instead of Chemistry as I'd originally planned Thinking of Evolutionary Anthropology, it's got elements of history and biology which are my favourite subjects, and then hopefully I'll do a masters in Paleoanthropology afterwards
