Durham Applicants 2008 Thread

KiwiBaby

I'm still waiting!

My love, if you've been sent to college - you have a place! I'm very very jealous! But yeh, i've been told that once its gone to college you're in!

And 40 IB points...... how did you manage that? Do you have any tips? Which subjects did you do?

Sorry for all the questions - i'm just very jealous!

if beeople get rejected because they are irish then there is just as much chance that you could get rejected becuase youve been living in switz. you dont go to institut le rosey by any chance do you?

Lol at 'beeople'. And I went to an international school far, far away. Look at me. :wink:

Well it used to mean that... now the Durham Track has been filled up with all sort of small print with lots of "maybe"s and "not necessarily"s and "unsuccessful despite being passed to a college"s, which scare me to pieces!

No I did A' Levels. But I did the Cambridge Board. And the school I did my IGCSEs and A' Levels is in Malaysia. And I forgive you if you don't know where that is (given past experience). But yeah I've moved around quite a bit. :smile:

Let's hope so... I just heard the post come, so I ran all the way downstairs to see if there was anything there.

There wasn't.

Wow, love the signature picture! How long have you had that? It does a very good job of summing up the complete randomness of this thread!

I send my sister out to check the post box for me every morning (its at the end of the garden). Its the holidays so neither of us have been bothering getting dressed till late afternoon, if at all.... but i figure its better for a 10 year old to go out in her pyjamas than it is for an 18 year old!

Anatheme made the sig for me *sob* but yep, it sums up the randomness entirely!

Hmmm i seem to be taking over this thread at the moment so i'll just continue...

I need to go get dressed but i'm going to wait until 1300 my time cos its 1200 UK time and UCAS might update....

I think it was in another thread because I don't recall it here if it was indeed demonstrated. Do you know where it is? If so rep for you. And don't go checking an atlas now. :p:

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And im so pleased i got it right!

What was it like living there? Where else have you lived?

Reply 2776

Your welcome. It was alright actually. Being a Muslim nation I thought it was going to be extremely rigid and strict. But as long as you don't run around naked (or do naked cancan dancing :wink:

) it's all good. Humid of course but that applies to the whole region.

Let's see England doesn't count right? If so then California, New York, Singapore.

Reply 2777

Thats cool!

I wont go there because i might get the urge to naked cancan.....

I feel like such a fraud at my school, everyone else has lived in so many different cool places... and i've only lived in the UK then moved here....

Oooooo i'm gonna go check UCAS.... it is time...
