Wow I've just read the program for it and it sounds amazing - what A-Levels are you taking? Do you think you'll study geology at uni?

It does sound amazing right!! I'm hoping to do an undergraduate in geophysics by itself and then a masters in geohazards at the moment :smile: what about you?

Wow you've got it all planned out :biggrin: I'm pretty sure I'm going to do engineering, and then specialise in aeronautical (or astronautical depending on the uni) I'm mad about space and flying craft :smile: do you know if the teacher name we put down has to give a reference? My teacher just got a huge marketing email from EDT but I thought they were contacting them for grades or something...

I put Warwick, Cambridge, Manchester, Durham and Southampton I think? Not sure about the last two it was so long ago:/ And then I got a Cambridge offer today saying it was an early offer (so most are still going out in March I think) but it didn't really explain why.

Yeah I know, and it also depends on what people have chosen for their courses :/
