Does anyone else just want it to be September already? I WANNA START UNI NOW :frown:


No, as much as i'm looking forward to the course I definitely need that time to mentally prepare myself for being a student again 😁 and leaving my daughter in child care 😔

Haha thanks!

what are your predicteds? I remember I missed Essex' grades for linguistics and they still let me in so don't beat yourself up over it! BCU seem fairly lenient so you'll defo go somewhere!

haha, awesome, just hold on!

That's fair enough. Juggling parenthood and studying does sound quite daunting! Where are you going?

Yeah BCU seemed like a good fall back option!
I'm not really sure, they've predicted me AAB on UCAS but I recon ABB will be a struggle! It's the final push now though so I'm just going to work super hard and maybe I'll surprise myself!
Did you finish the linguistics course? I had two offers for linguistics just in case speech therapy failed, but luckily I didn't need them!!

Good knowledge of profession and read questions carefully, for instance if it says to list things make sure you list and don't waste time writing in full prose

If I'd had two gap years I'd be crying! You must be buzzing!

Don't worry about it, just remember what you're aiming for and it'll spur you on through the hours of revision! Manchester is such a cool place! It would've been my firm had they not rejected me.

no, I did the first year and did well so I decided to chase a transfer onto speech and language therapy! I know how competitive it is and grad entry is twice as well! So it just felt right to take a gap year and try to pursue it and quicken it all up! Luckily it has worked out - I guess everything happens for a reason!

Haha I didn't know what I wanted to do - so I'm glad I've had the gap years and gained some life experience! Plus I know now that this is definitely the right choice! Doubt I'd have done so well if I went straight to uni at 18 anyway :tongue: But now I AM ABSOLUTELY BUZZING!!! I cannot wait to get started!

Exactly!! Sounds like it all happened at the right place/time!!

Aww that's a shame! Did you apply for Manchester met or Manchester?

I feel like the carrot has definitely been dangled now haha - the library is now where I spend most of my time at college!

I deferred last year. Best of luck. Got my fingers crossed for you
Don't suppose anyone's heard back from Newcastle yet? I think my interview was late January and they said they'd get back to us late feb/early March so was just wondering :smile:
