Sixth Form: Is it worth?

Hi,

So I will be applying to sixth form around this or next year. Is it worth going to a really good sixth or college? There's not many great ones where I live and I want to maybe go out of town, maybe an hour or so out. Is that worth it?

Thanks.

Nope in fact it’s good u will be eligible for contextual offers like they mean grade reductions. The only thing matters is a good university and good grades but there are some exception like for medicine anywhere is a good university cause how competitive it is!

Thanks. I just had a question though. Does the sixth form or college you go to impact your university or is it just the grades they're looking for? At my school, the teachers always tell us that colleges like students from our school because we have a good reputation, if we didn't, lots of people would be getting rejected.

Okay like I said there is no good college. But the thing is that when you go to a bad college you will be heavily procrastinate there and might not focus on your studies that is why you should be around good people.

I am literally in the ucas application and if u r from a bad college that dosnt even matter not a single atom matters. U need good grades but how will you get good grades from bad teachers is the point. I told u that getting good grades from a bad college is extraordinarily from a good college and good grades. U will also be eligible for loads of grade reductions based on where you live and the college you attend to so this means uni will focus on u more. People pleas focus on the grades on not fancy things. The only thing matters is a good uni unlike medicine.
