Don't feel ashamed, that's a great set of predicted grades! That's just the way TSR is (especially at around this time when a lot of people who have already applied did so for the Oxbridge deadline). Your choices are nearly identical to mine last time I applied, you've got a great mix there :smile:

Thank!
I wanted to apply for oxford (St Cats) but my predictions are too low and I’m blaming online school during lockdown for it as It didn’t go well for me, I tried getting them up last half term but I was too slow so I just accepted it

I'll probably cut out Oxford from here to save myself some shame

Uhhh yeah, lockdown...You could try again if you really want Oxford, but Bath is amazing too and if you get in it might work out one way or the other

Well for what it's worth, I did a term of maths at Birmingham (dropped out due to mental health issues), and while the course was definitely a lot easier and less intense than what you'd do at Oxford, the university itself is absolutely lovely and everyone is so supportive that it's possibly a more suitable environment for a lot of people anyway.

Exactly, also Birmingham is on the list for me for the conservatoire as I enjoy my music. I hope everything is ok with you!

What incredible optimism. I can't relate...Meanwhile I'm absolutely dreading university or any change to my endless drag of a life. I can't bear to have things worse than they already are

I get that too, my mental health hasn’t been the best but the only way it up!

Like a year or 2 ago I had my truckload of issues and dropped out for a bit. I actually wanted to go to a conservatory, but I was terrible at the piano (passed my Grade 8 failing 2 pieces), and my compositions went pretty stuck, and soon I started picking things up again with school so I just ditched that

Don’t feel ashamed - i’m applying for maths with AAB predictions (maths, further maths, sociology) and it seems like everyone on tsr all have A* predictions so i felt like my grades were terrible but i’m still really happy with them and i’m able to apply for universities i’m really happy to get into (hopefully aha).
