Damn, where did last year go? It's been an absolute blur of exams and an MIT Summer Incubator! I feel exhausted already.
I may as well post this here too; I need to get some input.
Hey guys!
As stated above; I've achieved (underachieved actually - had better prelim results of AAABB) ABBCC at higher and I am trying to figure out a good strategy for applying to unis.
My current plan is to work exceptionally hard in sixth year to get AA in AH Maths and French and AA in Higher Chem and Computing. The question is though, would I be able to aim for universities like Edinburgh, Bristol and Durham with my current grades and these predictions?
As for subject choice, I'm debating between Computer Science and Electronic Engineering
In terms of strategy I was thinking about this layout:
2x High Entry Requirement Unis (AAA, etc.)
2x Mid-tier entry requirement Unis (ABB, AAB)
1x Low entry requirement Uni (BBB and below)
Is this a reasonable application strategy with my current set of Highers? What are your thoughts?
Another option would be to re-apply next year with Advanced Highers/Highers and take a gap year.
Thanks for the help guys!
