Lol I think that's the third time you have asked that :smile:

You would be at an advantage for having 4 a levels only at Queen Mary London, in terms of A*s I don't thinks many unis discriminate them from As: apart from Oxbridge, Birmingham, Exeter and Edinburgh where A*AA is a typical offer :smile:

If you're emailing asking them something you could work out from their website (ie do I have a shot with these grades) then they're unlikely to reply at all.

They won't reply to questions like this because they are not allowed to give personalised information to tell you the likelihood of the success of your application :smile:

There's a section on resits in the medicine wiki. It's complicated so I can't give you a simple answer - you need to study it.

I am not sure on which retail to work with.
I worked for gamestop for a week and let's say it didn't go that well.

Also, will retail really employ students in this economic climate?? :confused:

Security industry will employ anyone (regardless of gender or even species) :\ that's a garantee to all people who end up having to find a boring job as a last resort :smile:

I have kind of done a draft but its not really a draft (it's a list of everything I will include :tongue:

lol) so using a list I can change the order of the stuff I put in :smile:

I'm not gonna mention my gap year at all because I didn't find a job and won't be doing anything special lol. If I found a job before October the 15ths then I would include it :smile:

I don't think there is a point of including stuff you haven't done yet!

Are you gonna mention your gap year?

Posted from TSR Mobile

I thought you had to include your gap year!? Wow, everyone said you have to mention it though, right?

Does anyone know the Universities that allow a year's resit for 2014/2015 Entry?

Thanks in advance

Very poor because this was before I was 18, so like 4.90 an hour. 18+ It may be like £6-7 an hour at some places. It's not health care assistant pay but it would be better than nothing.

You don't have to, even if you do I only mentioned a sentence or two about HCA work. As Leeds stated in their admissions statement, they can't give you marks for things you plan to do. So devoting a paragraph to how your going to go travelling the world may be put to better use through talking about things you have already done. But I know some universities like UAE may get in contact to find out what your doing during the gap year.

Also for people looking for care jobs, have you looked in care homes? They're always looking for cheap labour to fill shifts ect which can get you started! The place I volunteered at was anyway.
