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

Getting parents in may not be too smart as it will only make them more unwilling. By all means go ahead if you're desperate. Parental action is better than none

Sure, every single one of your FB pictures is like "ZOMG, remove this, don't look at me!!!" Haha, shut it.

So you should be sorry!

A*A*A in M, FM and Economics. so a bit different then

I'm glad you feel my pain I agree. It's going to be tough for me, probably going to require the most effort for me this year! I'm really not the best at science

I won't unless I absolutely have to, as you say it's liable to make it worse if anything and given my parents don't seem to understand that it makes it all the more likely! I'm probably going to end up reapplying next year I think, hopefully by then I'll have more idea of what I want to do and once I know my grades I might want to re-evaluate my options anyway

y

Mine is either A*A*AA or A*AAA, really hope its the latter.

Wow, they're amazing! You hope it's A*AAA though?



I will apply this time and see what happens, tbh everything's changing so quickly at the moment and my decisions are changing daily, if not hourly! I hadn't really thought of going to them, I'll ask my form tutor about it tomorrow and hopefully he'll say something to the maths teachers to them or I'll go to my head of year- thank you!

Hahahahaha the ones I say that about are genuinely horrific though, honey

Please don't kill me

How're you finding A2 bio? We're finally onto the Calvin cycle. My teacher has an odd way of teaching things .
What are your personal predictions for this yr?

I just don't think I have what it takes to get an A* in biology this year again so I'd rather not be predicted it.

Don't doubt yourself - I know you can get it!

Thank you I know, I just don't think I have what it takes to get an A* in biology this year again so I'd rather not be predicted it. An A* prediction in chemistry would be great though - unlikely

Do you have any idea about what you want to study? I think you should to be honest. Honestly wishing you the best of luck

Oh I see, weird!
Not really. It had asked to look through my contacts :P
I'm loving it, it's far more interesting than AS Nice, we've done the Calvin cycle and pretty much all of photosynthesis. On the respiration topic, we've just started the Krebs cycle.

I'm going to go for A*A*A*A* this year, but lets see what happens! You?

Ohh I see, that makes sense! Do you want to do medicine?

It's physics and music I wanted to apply for but there's no point with BBB predicted grades except for Keele. I'd love to do straight music but as I don't do A level music and am unlikely to get grade 8 theory in the next year I have limited options- I'd do one or both of those in a gap year if I took one!

Thank you, you too! I'm sure we'll both be fine in the end

Bingo

I'm applying to Keele
Can I ask, why would you want to do medicine since you don't study it? Did they not offer it st your college?

I'm sure we will

You can enter your UMS scores if you want to, but you don't have to.

just the grade, Only Cambridge ask for UMS and other universities will individually email you for UMS if required. You fill out UMS for Cambridge on the SAQ

I like the Keele campus but I live very near it and have been on various trips there as my school's connected to it- whilst I still would live there, I don't want to be so close to home! Especially since several teachers lecture there, two in the physics department...

Music? They do but it was in the same block as chemistry so I took that instead. I was going to do AS this year but then it clashed with physics Were I choosing again I'd do music, but chemistry kept my options open more when I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, even though I've now dropped it!

Where else are you applying? You're the first Keele applicant I've seen!

Rah get in Robbie TT finally getting something right then!

Mine is either A*A*AA or A*AAA, really hope its the latter.

Especially when biology is quite relevant for your uni course I'm sure you'll still do great, you did at AS!


Hm I think you should still apply this year, do you think you can talk to your head of year or sixth form about it since you were really close to the boundary and with maths, its not too bad when it comes to making up marks.

I've never been but apparently its in the middle of nowhere I get you, I'd hate to stay in London for uni, its a time to get away

Oh that's such a shame. Love chemistry but each to their own. I am really sorry that that's happened. If only we could rewind time!

I'm also applying to Sheffield, Leicester and HYMS. There are a few Keele applicants, I know one irl, its just as known I think
