Current Year 13 thread Mark I (2014-2015)

Lol that just looks like such a typical medical healthcare PS

Didn't realise people actually believed in the crap they wrote

Lol I said some stuff about wanting to become an engineer to help the developing world or something.

In reality I just want to do some applied maths and get a decent job at the end of it.

Lol mine was j me saying yeah, Chemistry is everything, linked with everyone, I wanna do it

So yeah, something I enjoyed and was cool, and has the opportunities (or so I hope)

Did you have a (made up) cheesy background story about how an experiment in science class in year 8 made you want to become a chemist?

Lmao, for the medics it's the whole 'I was diagnosed with X and the way in which I was treated by... Blabla' made me wanna become one

Its j ridiculous the statements I read and edited. So so so... Basically full of lies and ****

I feel like everyone else on the planet has all their offers and is now firming people whilst I'm still waiting to hear from St Andrews and Edinburgh and it's pretty much all I can think about.

mine is legit, except I didn't actually say 'I don't care about the results', think they would've rejected me if they read that

I'm basically with Red Fox, decent job with applied maths pls
need monies for guitar innit

St A is taking the piss tbh lol


Lol guitars galore as an engineer

Still gonna be cheaper than a grand piano

Pianoooooo

I want one at uni

Funnily enough I'm at SpecSavers right now for an eye test their eye tests are pretty cool; I've just done a focus test and they've taken pictures of the back of my eyes

Very interesting though, I've never met anyone that wants to study optometry so that's pretty cool!

I'm a bit more selfish than you I think I can't really 'help' people with their lives in the same way a doctor or optician could, but I wanted to study Chemical Engineering for the challenges. It has a really nice balance of my favourite subjects (Maths, Physics, Chemistry) and it has both a very theoretical element along with strong applications. I'm more interested in the applications - seeing my calculations and ideas etc and looking at what they're like in the real world and not just on paper. To be perfectly honest, I care about the journey a lot more than the results, so I suppose what drew me to Chemical Engineering was the various challenges that they have to solve e.g. How do we scale this process up? How do we minimise waste and improve efficiency of this process? With that being said though, I don't know what part of ChemEng I'll ultimately specialise in but I think I'll come to love it; I already love science generally so

I'd also consider becoming a maths or science teacher too

Aw that's pretty cool, and its good to have options open whereas I'm on a one-way trip (And knowing there's a chance of a decent-paying job at the end of a degree is a good bonus )

^^truest thing I've read. I was half tempted to just put in my personal statement 'please let me into your uni - I'll work hard and I like maths'. Most unis I visited don't even look at your PS for engineering unless you miss your offer.

St A is taking the piss tbh lol

Lol if you actually have time to practice the piano at Cambridge

They always do apparently but I'm still going slightly insane wondering when I'll hear from them.

Still doesn't make it right... I'm hoping early February latest

Same. I'm more bothered about hearing from Edinburgh because I think they're more likely to give me an offer but I don't want to be waiting around for St A.

Scottish unis ay

They'd not survive on their own
