How to cope with giving up my Uni Dreams and Career

Pretty sure no unis read the reference any more because schools fix them.

i don't think u can miss the deadline since it is a recommended deadline, you can still apply before march or even later. maybe u could do an HND and get on a 2nd 3rd year uni?, or foundation year some other time?. My friend failed Alevel and still got in uni a few years later from doing independent work, there are other pathways. but i agree that it doesn't sound like ur college is lifting your hopes up.

Sorry to hear about that. Apart from an Apprenticeship or BTEC, is there any other qualification you could do that would lead to your career? What field are you interested in?

Hello

It is with sad regret that i will be missing the ucas deadline . Because i suffer from Depression and that everyone in my college sees me as a weirdo, the tutor made a good point not to write my references earlier because i failed my accounting exam, being behind coursework and having the poorest attendance in college.

It is an access course, i dont blame them, i agreed with her and she then indirectly try to indicate that my behaviour is Bipolar/Personality Disorder (she didnt say it direct obviously but the way she described me) hence making my reference hard to write, she says she will write tonight but i know that is a lie. Whilst i have finished my personal statement and my careers advisor giving me the best help i have ever had with the personal statement, i also realise that my tutor is ****ing useless but thats just my own thinking

Anyway, now that there's a 100% chance that i won't go uni as i predict i will get out of college anyway, i need to cope on not being jealous of others who are going uni or already in uni. This was my third attempt at college and i have ruined yet again . This September i'm likely to do a btec with 16 year old kids or to do a dead end apprenticeship. How can i now adjust to this sad life and ending my potential career.

I do wish foundation degree/HND would allow no a-level/Level 3 qualifications. I mean i have 4 GCSE's including maths and english

My college is a ****, They kicked me out when i was in Year 13. I only went back because no college would want me.

i m no expert but i don't think your tutor can make comments about her personal opinion on your mental health in a uni reference. honestly i think btecs are better because u can work from home more anyway. i remember my tutor at college, god... put me off education for 10 years.

Can i ask a personal question, Did you go uni/are in uni? or did you do an access course/A-levels

If you think you are depressed, I would confront that first. Have you been to a GP about it?

As for the rest of it, you could do another access course for a year, once you've taken some time out and been treated for depression. If it is your depression causing your failure then you should do better next time, yes? Also, if you do suffer from depression, moving out for uni may have made it worse anyway. It will probably do you good to have some time out

This is just an idea. Just don't give up.

Have you considered doing your A Levels from home with a company like Learn Direct?

Plus my friend applied after the deadline and still got in.

This was actually something i had in my thought whilst i was showering right now lol.

How did your friend cope with missing the deadline? how many offers did he/she get?

Haha, great minds think alike.

He only applied to one uni and got accepted and now attends. I applied for uni last year and UCAS has numerous different deadlines. The 15th deadline just ensures that all unis get back to you sometime in May and then if you apply after that they have until June/July to offer you a place and for you to accept it.
