Hi everybody, may as well set this up as there doesn't appear to be one yet. Just fill in the template below. Name: Location: Course: GCSEs: AS: A2 subjects: A2 (predictions or achieved): Other:

Name: ? Location: London Course: Economics and French GCSEs: 5A*s 6As AS: AAAb (French Economics Religious Studies history) A2 subjects: French Economics RS A2 (predictions or achieved): A* A* A predicted Other: Really hoping the lack of a level maths won't be a problem

Name: Becky Location: Lake District Course: Geography GCSEs: A*AABBBBBC AS: ACDE (obviously resitting to hopefully get ABB in my A2 subjects) (lol i feel so inferior compared to everyone on tsr) A2 subjects: geography, history, sociology A2 (predictions or achieved): ABB Other: eligible for a2l :~)
Name: Mia Location: Merseyside Course: BA Management GCSEs: 2A* 6A 2B AS: AABB (A in General too ) A2 subjects: Business Studies, Drama & Theatre Studies, Government & Politics, History & General Studies A2 (predictions or achieved): AAAB (A in General) UCAS projections. My school targets are all A's but that won't ever happen Other: Received an acknowledgement email today saying it will take 2 to 4 weeks for a response. I went to both open days in June, but slightly worried as they said they don't really want to take people on with 4 A2's for business related courses. So we will just have to wait and see
Name: Lucy Location: Edinburgh Course: History and Ancient History GCSEs: 11x A* AS: AABB A2 subjects: History, French and German A2 (predictions or achieved): AAA Other: Really hope that they won't think it's weird that I want to do History and have two languages :/
It is a good course to do, and it's really enjoyable. What bits do you do?
At AS we did Unification of Italy 1820-1872, Unification of Germany 1848-1890, and Ireland 1870-1920. At A2, we do Russia 1861-1961 for coursework and Germany 1900-1945 for the exam. Bit obscure I know! How about you?

They sound quite good actually. The Ireland bit would be interesting. I'm doing similar with Russia now and Germany last year.
British political history 1906 to 1951 and Anti-Semitism and the Holocaust at AS. British Political History 1951 to 2007 and Russia 1894 to 2005 (coursework) at A2.
Location: Loughborough Course: Environment and Business GCSEs: 3A*s 7As AS: AABB ( English , Geography , Business studies { 1 mark off A :/ } , History ) A2 subjects: Geography , Business Studies , History A2 (predictions ): A*AA ( not sure I'll get that though ....) Other: Scared I won't meet requirements for course AAB
Location: London Course: Aviation Technology and Management GCSEs: 5A*s, 4A, 1C AS: ABBB (Maths,Physics,Geography,Business Studies respectively, 1ums off an A in Geography ) A2 subjects: Maths, Physics, Geography A2 (predictions ): AAA Other: I'm absolutely terrified! I'm so dead set on Leeds, its the only uni in the country which offers such course , just gotta work extremely hard this year so I stand a chance of getting in.
*UPDATE Managed to pull my grades up to AAA at A2, and got accepted onto my chosen course at Leeds!

Your just like me I'm so set on Leeds because it is the only place that does the Environment and Business course and I loved it so much on the open day ! Let's hope we get in !

Same! I went there for open day last June and loved it so much, the staff, lecture halls, labs, flight simulators and the city as whole were amazing and far exceeded expectations.
I'm just terrified about whether I can achieve the entry requirement grades for my course (AAA) I don't have a proper back-up plan. I don't want to study "similar" courses such as aerospace engineering/avionics or air transport management. Salford offers an almost identical course to what I want, but their entry requirement is like CCD or CDD, but they'll probably let people in with Es and Us as well and the student satisfaction and job prospects are obviously no where near as good as Leeds, so I'm definitely not prepared to go there!
Name: Calvin Location: London Course: Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering GCSEs: 3A*, 6A, B AS: Maths and Physics - A, Further Maths and Psychology - B A2 subjects: Maths, Physics, Further Maths A2 (predictions or achieved): A*A*A Other: The only doubt in my mind is that I have not yet seen the facilities... if they're a bit aged then I may be put off. The lecture hall I sat in was. Other than that it is the most impressed I have been with a uni so far!

So jealous of the british political history! That's my favourite part of history

I totally get you , any similar courses I've found aren't quite like the Leeds one and the entry requirements are really low . But this means my backups have had to be a joint honours in geography and business , unfortunately all the entry requirements are the same AAB so I haven't got a proper backup plan . Everyone I know has 5 choices but I only have 3 at the moment and I've literally searched everywhere for other courses I might like .
I want to go to a 'good' university and this course it exactly what I want it to be !
