Current Year 11 Thread Mark I (2014-2015)

I'm still not sure but most likely, I might just stay in my school's sixth form. Cause the only reason why I chose one of my choices forces me to take all BTECs and my other choice is a bit too far.

What about you?

I'm not sure but Woodhouse did seem good from the results I could see in the prospectus and they have a vending machine. :smile:

. They also offer a wide variety of subject, more than what mine offers.

Although, I heard some say that the people there weren't good but they could be exaggerating, I dunno.

St. Dominics..... I heard good things about it and some of my classmates are transferring there but I don't have enough info to form a good opinion. The only thing I could say for sure though is that the headteacher was my school's former deputy/assistant headteacher.

What subjects are you thinking of studying?

I never knew this - so for example I'm not allowed to link to a post in my blog to start a thread just like some put in links to news articles?

Correct. I never said it was a good rule... :rolleyes:

I'm staying at my school's sixth form as I like it and it offers the A Level subjects I want to do :smile:

I applied to a college as a backup but I didn't get a place. They get so many applicants that they randomly choose their pupils with a ballot system so it's not based on grades at all :s-smilie:

Yeah, personally I found it a weird way of accepting/declining students! No, it wasn't either of those colleges.

Im applying to doms!

Wow, that's a lot of maths.... Banking or engineering?

Anyway, from what I've heard, the basic requirements is a B average for Woodhouse but I'm not sure about the subject specific requirements, if you need a minimum of A or B in the subject to get into the subject

Clueless about St. Dominic's though, sorry.

P.S.

Sorry for the horrible grammar :frown:

How much work experience have you done so far?

This summer I really need to arrange more - my dentist said I could come in on Tuesdays (later finishes) so hopefully I'll give him an email/phone call and see what happens - they're all really nice so hopefully it'll be fine if I could do it for awhile :smile:

I guess medicine could be a bit harder to arrange work experience? Not too sure with GPs etc

Well I have not done much so far. I did a months work experience at this place in Brazil working with disabled children (feeding, administering medicines, etc), and I have volunteered at a charity shop for a year but that's about it.

I have emailed a local care home about volunteering there and they replied saying they need to check their age restrictions but it should be fine, so I should be starting there soon. I also emailed my local hospice and have not heard back yet. I also wanna volunteer for the red cross.

Clinically, my hospital runs work experience so I am in the process of applying to that (they have a form where you have to write 1000 words etc), and I am going to ask my GP IF I can shadow him :smile:

what about you?
