Same here! It does sound pretty cool!

My firm choice is part of the dilemma! I applied for Natural Sciences at Bath, and they also want A*AA, so if I were to pick Bath, it would have to be my firm.

If I want to put York as my firm, Warwick will be my insurance...I think!

How about your firm choice? :smile:

Ohh, I see. My firm will be Oxford :biggrin:

Oh, I completely forgot about Oxford! Even more congratulations!!
I guess you have no problems deciding which uni to firm! Where else did you apply barring Oxford and Warwick?

Thank you

Nottingham, Sheffield and Imperial, though I withdrew from Imperial once I got an offer from Oxford :tongue:

How about you? Bath, York, Warwick, anywhere else?

Really not sure what kind of field I'd like to go into. Something research oriented would be awesome, and becoming a teacher has always been an idea.

Aw, it's hardly your fault! I honestly don't think I could dream of managing to study at Oxford (if I somehow managed to get an offer!).

Thanks though :smile:

Good luck for Oxford though :thumbsup:

I plan on going back in time 500 years and becoming an evil alchemist.

Or maybe finance. I haven't decided yet.

Hopefully a career in research/industry. Considered going into the pharmaceutical industry too. Although I'd love to be well-learned enough to become a lecturer!

These are all ideal scenarios though, first I need to focus on actually getting into uni :laugh:

Ah well done man! Glad it went well! You were in a grey suit right?

I thought mine went really well too :biggrin:

So much better than I expected. The other guy at our UCL interview who was there today (if you remember him) had a pretty tough interviewer who didn't ask him a single question from his personal statement.

I wasn't asked jack on my PS either l0l! :rofl:

so tensed right now man u wudnt believe

I know, I find it a little scary too. But hopefully with the help of tutorials, I'll manage to scrape through :colondollar:

Thank you, good luck to you too :biggrin:

Let me know what you decide!

Thanks, I will do! I'm leaning towards York for my firm I think!

I did work experience at GSK, and I quite enjoyed my time there; would love to see myself there in the future :blush:

I worked in the analytical chemistry department, I worked with GC-MS and HPLC machines (which was really cool because I hadn't actually studied them yet in Chemistry). Got to learn quite a bit about how gas chromatography works!

Also just being in the labs was cool enough!
