Physics 2014 Entry Hopefuls!

YES! Finally, another bassist
My dad has two dogs, but I only see him every two weeks or so, so I get all the fun of the dogs, without the effort XD
I was just about to buy a bike, but then it got quite cold out. (maybe it's warmer in Paris :P)

I've played bass too, since I was really young (self-taught), and I've recently started to self-teach piano too (we've always had a piano, but I've never just sat down properly and got good :P). I also sing, play the guitar, and occasionally play drums. I also like recording.

I'm on the UK Youth Parliament, through which I've done some pretty cool stuff; namely getting to debate in the House of Commons this November (those green seats are bloody comfy!).

I volunteer at a local interactive-kids-science-museum-thingy in Bristol (Explore @Bristol), which is great. (Nothing tests your physics knowledge like the questions kids ask! ("But WHY does my tinfoil boat float?".)

I do photography when I can, as I've been shooting for years, and it's nice to keep up (I got my own SLR when I was 13, so I was committed!).

I game occasionally, although that's stopped because of A2s

Through gaming, I ran a gaming YouTube channel for a couple of years (until this year) which reached a couple of thousand subscribers and >750,000 views, which was nice (as I got paid for playing games :P).

Aaanndd.... I love cooking - recently, this entails making chutney/pickles


I think that about does it

Naww but the best part, according to mon pere, is picking up the poo because they're free hand warmers in the winter ahaha. My father ladies and gentlemen!
I only started play bass two years ago and the piano properly in year 8 That's awesome! I've always loved the idea of playing a few instruments, especially the guitar.
How did you get into doing something like that? I tried to get some work experience in the local space centre but the didn't want me

YOU GOT PAID FOR THAT?! How did that work? :O

according to mon pere

Haha cool, I'm kinda north-west area :P
Yeh, well you don't have to eat from the canteen yeh I think it seems like a great city, pretty far away for us though, but that's not particularly important
Haha yeh that's the thing with Birmingham, it's really easy and quick to get there, yeh it's such a nice campus, and yeh the course always seems to have the highest satisfaction rating which is really good
Yeh I think getting A*AA is gonna be a challenge, but oh well it's worth a shot yeh that's pretty high what Nott ask for, do you know if they have a bachelor guarantee like bham do?
Oh right hmm I haven't really looked at accommodation prices cus u don't really want it to effect my choice, I want too go somewhere cus I love the uni and course not by cost (apart from discarding London uni's cus of price pretty much)
Oh that's nice grades Bristol ask for! I would've applied if I didn't live here already :/

I don't think Nottingham have any such guarantee, but I'm pretty sure the admissions tutor said that they've let people in with AAB before, and commonly AAA.
I don't really want to choose uni based on cost, but it is a huge factor. I also completely discarded London due to cost, and population density.
As for Bristol, I go to city of Bristol college, which is in the lowest 30% of colleges in the country, so I get a contextual
Also, because I just did an access course (eight weeks of maths taster sessions, and lots of chocolate digestives!), and I have a low household income (this post illustrates me as a total pleb :P) I get in for free... Achem, I said FREE! ZERO FEES :0
So that's cool :P

Nice choices, what do they ask for?

Unconditional offer from Durham!
