UNIQ Summer School 2015

Scroll to see replies

Is a school with an average of a B good or bad at gcse?

That's a fairly vague metric :P. Do you know the percentage 5 A*-C? The national average is 64% iirc.

These are the most recent stats I could find, it seriously depends on the subject apparently...

I don't fancy my chances for maths then haha, 6% for medicine is grim though. I assume you're going for maths?

You have to remember, back then there were only 30 places, now there's like 80 and I don't think the number of applicants will have increased much. And yes I am going for maths :-)

Not long now guys!

Decided to go on Acorn and check what type my postcode was in and its type 56 xD
Hopefully that will increase my chances.
It's weird that I would have never considered where I live to be deprived until I looked at that

I checked the other day too, mine's 27, I don't know whether being in the middle of the scale is a good or bad thing!

Hey everyone!
I applied for Geography with Human Sciences as my second choice. Can't believe we hear about it tomorrow, it seems like yesterday I was writing my personal statement. Good luck to everyone! :smile:

Living in an ACORN area 10 and going to a grammar school, I'm probably not going to get a place, but good luck to everyone else :awesome:

Acorn Category 3 and type 22, although not sure how significant this is.

I think there may be a positive correlation between Acorn type and likelihood of getting in, given that the website says it seeks to give places to those from the most deprived areas(provided they have the grades of course).Ah well, we'll find out tomorrow (':

Acorn category 5, type 54.

can anyone give me the link to look up my postcode data? I have tried the link on the UNIQ website but it just takes me to the Acorn website and I'm not sure how to navigate it!
