I have finally sent my ucas form off after waiting ages for my tutor to reply to my email and sort my personal statement out :smile: I have put down York st. John, Liverpool Hope, Leeds met, Cumbria and Chester :smile: xx


I just sent mine off today too after taking ages to choose my final one and i wasn't sure between upper and lower primary! It's annoying how they say 'early years' But I just went for 5-11 even though I love reception :frown:
I thought it would be better to be experienced in a wider age range though. Are you doing A levels? x

Has anyone NOT sent off their UCAS application yet? I'm still waiting on my old tutor for a reference and I'm panicking like mad! Feel rubbish looking through here with everyone getting interviews and I haven't even sent mine yet! :frown: Also, is anyone applying with a GCSE Maths grade of C? I have a C, but I'm retaking it in June 2013 to hopefully get a B or an A. Do you think places will still consider my application? :smile:

yeah thats great thanksss!! Ive missed all the open days now :frown: but i might apply anyway, i dont have a GCSE B in maths though so im not sure they'd allow me in! thanks anyway though!!:smile:


I haven't got a B in maths either, got a C but I am retaking it in June 2013 so HOPEFULLY they will consider me!.. I didn't get in last year and I'm pretty sure my maths grade had something to do with it!
