Wahoooo
ACORN says I am type 56 - category 5, final letter. I am even worse then high rise hardship - I am inner city adversity, multi-ethnic and crowded flats (this is the worst catergory of all 56 types)Apprently I asked my teacher this from oxford and she said that it would play out to my advantage as I would be seen as coming from an extremely deprived area - which basically means that I get big boost in applying for summer schools
and potentially university
It pays to be deprived in academia ;D Really, it does![]()

You're Scouse though; what you gain in bursaries, you lose in having the worst accent in the world.

And yet so many would have us believe a person in your place has it so hard.
No, the worst off under our current systems are the upper working/lower middle class. Eh, I don't mind though -

Won't help if you're as brain dead as a pile of bricks.
