If you used Clearing in 2024, how did you find it?

Doing Uni while doing Advanced highers

So my plan was to going to go to Uni and also do advanced highers eg.maths-would have already being doing at uni, statistics-same reason as the first subject and another language- in which I know really well

Because my dream is to go to cambridge and I really wanted to to go to England to do Sixth form but my parents said no- so like ig im doing advanced highers in scotland

Do you think it's a good idea-because I don't want to lag behind uni work at the same time

Why don’t you just do advanced highers in S6? Or have you already done S6??

Well because i'm probably the most hated in my school right now (don't ask why) and that's why I left plus I haven't done S6 I applied in S5

Well Cambridge is a better university, and there's more job opportunity because of it and it's more well know to companies?

Terrible idea, inevitably means you partially compromise your ability to perform at your best in all qualifications, and if you’re already enrolled at another university I think you may well find Cambridge won’t even consider you as it is against policy.

You’ll probably find you have to make a choice, advanced highers & new university application or go to your existing university place.

Okay guys never mind that idea I'm just doing to focus on Uni and patch the Cambridge idea. To be fair, even if I did get in I probably couldn't cope with the workload and the ppl there are going to be really smart.
