I'm applying to college/sixth form really soon and so far in mind I'm thinking of going to City and Islington because the ofsted ratings are great, the atmosphere is great, it's a big school and there are really cool facilities etc.
However, Woodhouse seems to be the school everyone wants to go to, is it prestige? I know it's selective.
I'm not too sure about Woodhouse because I'm scared the people there would be know-it-alls and stuck up, and I want to have a good time there, to make friends as well but to come into a school everyday where there are great people.
I know making friends isn't my priority, but I do think it's important, I wouldn't look forward to a class of ego brains and people who are just boring.
You may ask "why don't you just go to City and islington?" Well, I'm thinking of studying chemistry, biology, maths and english literature and I saw that the exam boards for chemistry and biology are AQA at Woodhouse whereas the exam boards in City and Islington are: Edexcel for biology and OCR for chemistry.
Plus I thought Chemistry and Biology will be even harder because of the new system.
I want my perception of Woodhouse changed, open day is soon but it's at the same time as City and Islington :/
I am hardworking, studious but like a laugh. (just to give you a clearer image if I'd fit in)
