Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

GYG for dentistry

Hello since we're approaching 2019 and one of the most important year so far for the 2000/2001 (+anyone else doing a levels), i thought I'd make a gyg see how life goes kind of thing. Not to brag etc but also a place for me to vent and complain about how awful year 13 is :') and just my life. it's all my own personal experience and i'll probably use this for procrastinating work but heyho i guess. anyway about me

so i'm at A2 right now and i take biology,chemistry and politics i was originally predicted A*A*A but i asked to have this lowered to AAA since (i anyway not bragging etc i worked hard in year 12 and i've lost it now lol) didn't feel i could get those grades in the exams and i need AAA for my course,dentistry, minimum (rip). I already started to feel the pressure of year 13 in year 12 and even AAA is a lot to go for, for myself whether you're predicted higher, the same or lower that's all fine!

I'm also doing an EPQ which is vv stressful too oh my

University
I've applied for
Birmingham(offer for AAB)
Bristol (on hold)
Manchester(still waiting)
Leeds(still waiting)
Plymouth(interview 21st Jan)

How prepared do i feel: not at all
stress: extremely high
procrastinating?: always
can i do it tho: yes

so this years looking a lot better i got an interview at Leeds! it's my top uni (you know when it's 'the one') i'm so excited like words can't explain how excited i am-and surprised i did so bad at my bmat (i didn't prepare much lol) i got 3.7,2.9,3A-so if anyone doesn't think you can't get into Leeds look at me! The amount of people who said I wouldn't get an interview or I'd be so close but wouldn't make the cut off. they rank people by a scoring system (you need 36/40-per say to get in) I'm predcited AAA (they see A*s and As the same)-8/8 for A Level, 21/27 for gcse and my personal statement(which saved me for holding with bristol) i probably got a 1 for bmat lol but it doesn't matter. i rmb having a breakdown with mum over not being good enough for anywhere since my ukcat wasn't the best but oh how life is so weird i'm so thankful!
