I'm enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. I feel like the constant assignments are keeping me focused and preparing me for university better than a levels would. I've completed a lot of assignments but they all count towards one unit which is worth a certain amount of credits, but so far I'm getting distinctions in everything I've had marked.
I have applied to 5 universities to do English Language and Linguistics (some call it English Language and Communication). I have had 3 conditional offers:
Anglia Ruskin Cambridge: Pass overall in access course.
Canterbury Christ Church: 45 credits, 3 being at merit level and the rest at pass
Hertfordshire: I can't actually remember. I believe it was an average of 45 merits.
And the other two I applied to are:
Kent: they have asked me to send 2 samples of work
Kings College: haven't heard from them yet
I was very nervous as people on my course had to go for interviews before even being considered for an offer, but luckily the three offers I've had so far I was given without doing anything other than sending my application
Have you applied? How are you finding the access course? I would say that what I'm fixing most difficult is distinguishing the difference between merit and distinction. I am getting distinctions but I don't really know why or what I have included that makes it a distinction rather than a merit. Obviously it's a good thing but I'm curious haha
