I didn't do a levels I completed an access course which is the equivalent of 3 a levels in sociology, biology and health studies
Just looked at this discussion again!
Well done all who have got offers/interviews! Bet you're over the moon.
And to those still waiting (like me!) hope you're all holding out and not sending yourselves loopy.. I've had a rough start to the week so hoping I will have some news soon :frown: x

I'm still waiting to hear from BCU too, so you're not on you own. Fingers crossed there is some positive news soon.

I finished Sixth form in 2011 - but I did
OCR National Diploma in Health, Social Care and Early Years (Level 3)
Psychology

Then I also did philosophy and ethics but I got a U, because apparently I didn't quite understand the 'concepts'. Whoopsies!
I took an AS in English Language (B)
And A Levels in Philosophy (B), Psychology (B) and Theatre Studies (B) ... That was 10 years ago though! I hope that suffices for sciences...
I didn't do A levels, did an entrance test to get into Uni as a mature student some years ago. Have since done a social sciences degree, an early childhood MA and OU undergraduate courses in science and currently psychology.

Wow you've done a lot. How come you done more courses and not a speech therapy degree before now?

I am cheating cos I am not applying this year (but familiar with the stresses from going through all this last year) but I did Psychology, Sociology, Religious Studies and English Literature/Language at A2 and also have critical thinking AS (for what its worth!).

What are you studying and how's it all going?

How you holding up? Take it still no news?

Looking forward to Leeds?
It was when I started to do psychology last year that I realised that I could bring all my experiences together (I was an early years teacher) and hopefully retrain as a speech therapist. It all depends if I get offered a place though!

I am sure you will get an offer - that's too much good experience to go to waste!

I am a trained primary teacher too. I am hoping my 2.1 in Philosophy and my PGCE, along with experience will get me a place. I had never really though about Speech and Language therapy before. But I wanted to move on from Teaching and specialise. Then I realised I could do this with SpLT and work with all ads in different settings.

Desperate for a place!

Oh it's so mean - the not knowing - sometimes its better when it's like Manchester where they tell you exactly when you will know even if its a long wait to get to the deadline.

Don't worry about Leeds - that was the best interview experience last year - but don't ask me for advice as they rejected me lol. Was slightly gutted they said no even though I had the MMU offer - but it worked out for the best for me because I really always wanted to do the joint course and an offer from Leeds would have confused me!

It will all work out - just wait and see.
I take A2 English language, Spanish and PE, and history at AS (I got AABB)
Anyone have an interview at uea on the 2nd December and heard back?
Getting impatient whoops

I've done:
AS: English language, English literature, geography and history

Then I moved colleges because the other was rubbish and have done AS' and am doing A2 now in:
English language, psychology and English literature, general studies (but no where even counts it, we just get forced to do it!)
Unfortunately I couldn't transfer across my results from my first college to my new college so I had to restart completely! Probably for the better though as at least by this point I had a career option in mind
