crap results crap university

Blond fat chic, or whatever your name is, you need to broaden your mind, you come around as very arrogent, as though the whole world is against you. Yes, most of us are going to red brick universities, and yes, league tables probably played a major factor in our decisions, however its also our choice, and its neither wrong or immoral. You seriously need to develop your debating skills, as you are so narrow minded, if somebody disagrees with you, it doesn't mean that we are snobs ffs. There are loads of students who come on this board to ask a load a questions, people asking about Plymouth Universty, Manchester Met, Sheffield Hallam, i.e. ex-polytechnics and I've never seen them being put down, we all try to help each other here, however your quite contrary to this. Its as though your trying to defend your reason for going to City, why?!? None of us are making fun of you. You need to chill.

Erm...sociology teacher? No I want to be a Psychology teacher, if I wanted to be a Sociology teacher don't you think I would have done SOCIOLOGY at university instead of Psychology, idiot.

It's none of your business, and as for my grades I am EXTREMELY proud and so are my teachers, friends and family thank you!!!!!!!!
As for my uni, I wanted to go to London and chose City, it's my choice not yours, I got the grades and I got in.

You posted earlier and said you didnt get the grades, BCCC i believe. You also posted yesterday on the board saying you wanted to be a sociology teacher, do i really have to go and find the post to prove my point?

I do not appreciate being called a liar. Please try and retain some consistency with this farse.

What's none of my business, sorry?

Again, if you're so proud, why did you tell us your estimated grades not your real ones?

Of course it wasn't my choice...................what the hell?

rosie

at last. and if you don't agree with something (blondechick) doesn't mean that it's wrong. i've yet to see any evidence for your points aside from a word-of-mouth comment from an unknown-to-us psychology teacher.

If your so interested, search this thread my results are already up.

I have nothing against those going to Oxbridge or wherever but I wouldn't even attempt to apply there because I know I would NEVER get AAA, nor have I come from a background of good family breed, nor had private education.

yes, indeed.

what I'm interested in though is why you chose to tell us your estimated (better) grades than your real ones, which you are so very proud of.... care to explain?

It's insulting (not least to the thousands of people starting in October who didn't have an amazing family or go to private schools) to imply that people going to Oxbridge got in because of their family background or private education.

Your inability to get the required grades would be the only aspect you mentioned that would have determined if you got in.

Oh I'm sorry, I put my estimated grades to show you that I could have applied to what you state a 'top' university if I wanted to do. But I chose my university purely on location and recommendation from another student, but yes I am happy with my BCCC although I am not happy with one of my C's which was in English Language because there was terrible building work (banging, shouting) going on and so I am going to get that re-marked because I was estimated an A for that, it was extremely selfish of the principal to do building work during exams it also affect my Sociology exam which I was also estimated a damn A for...so yes, I must admit I am some what peed off because it should have been an AABC...but oh well, I have been accepted and I think someone said you can resit modules at university, can you???

incidentally.....

am I the only one here worrying about the education the next generation of kids are going to get.....?

probably. the education assessment of 12-18 year olds is changing from a-levels within the next 7 years.

Evidence of what?

It's up to you at the end of the day how hard you work for your degree and what grade you get, because no degree is any different from any other university

It doesn't matter about 'top' and 'bottom' universities and their employment rate, it depends on how hard you work for your degree in order to get a 2:1,

and my psychology teacher said it's your degree that matters and what you get in that, not your A Levels nor where you have been to university. A degree is STILL a degree!!!

it doesn't matter about A Level results nor where you went to university, it's the grade of your degree that matters and if you have the willpower to educate students e.g. meaning personality, time and effort put into them passing.

I think those from working class backgrounds who have comprehensive education, succeed onto A Levels and go to university and get a degree are the hardest working.

Can I ask did you study sociology? Did your teachers treat you like adults rather than children?

Why are you worried just because I speak my mind? There you go again...trying to put people down because they believe in what they believe, that's pathetic.

We're going round in circles...I am getting bored of this, I am retiring from this thread, believe in what you like and I will believe in what you like! Good luck for the future!
