Hey, I'm applying for Psychology with Education too!! I'm applying to Southampton as well along with Durham, York, Bristol and De Montfort


Best of luck to you! I didn't know Bristol did Psychology with Education! One of my closest friends goes there!
Course: biomedical science
Universities: Oxford, Durham, York and bath
GCSE grades: 7A*, 3A, 2B and distinction
AS grades: achieved AAAB predicted a further AB
A2 grades: achieved A*AA predicted a further A*
Extra curricular: absolutely nothing relevant

People just can't seem to get their head around that Oxford isn't my first choice and that I'd rather stay in school than miss lessons to go to hundreds of personal statement workshops.

Oh cool, what do they think of the city? My dad mentioned that an area of Bristol has the highest crime rate in England which has made me a little worried, do they think it's a safe place?

Totally relate to your last comment, just don't have time for that. Also, it costs so bloody much - so much for inclusion lol.
