If I’m being really honest, I only really want to go to Oxford or Durham. I’ve put Nottingham too, but I think if I don’t get either Oxford or Durham, I would reapply next year with actuals, and spend a gap year trying to shadow a barrister and I would read even more than I already have. I don’t want to settle, and opportunities are rarely now or never (or so my Mum tells me).

Hiya, I wasn't a fan of Durham when I visited, but I know a lot of people like it. Yeah, if things don't work out this time around, no harm having another pop. Sounds like you got a plan.

But the dissertation is not fun and boring and you still could in Year 3 as one of your 5 optional papers.
I pray you get shortlisted for the interviews!!! 🙂
Where else have you applied to?

How do you know about a dissertation which you haven't written and will likely never have to write? Fella, your rich fantasy life brings merriment to those of us who are forced to live on Planet Earth but, really, guy, get some therapy.

It is the least favourite paper of most Oxford students.

Fella, I hate to break this to you, but they don't let in weird old guys who post on the net in their PJs and have zip-all A levels. Posting lists of stuff you've copied off some website, or lists of your imaginary achievements in the future, that won't get you in anywhere, not even some joke place like Bedfordshire. Know how I got into Oxford? I took a bunch of exams and passed them, wrote some stuff in my application, got my fave teacher to write nice things about me in a reference, and got grilled in two interviews. It wasn't super easy. Nobody sent me an owl or a ticket for a fakey old train. Now I'm here, I have to get busy reading a ton of stuff and writing essays. There's no short cut.

I'm well aware Oxford University only selects based upon grades thank you very much. Why else am I studying A-Level Maths for examination in June 2026? I am going to Kensington to a college to register for exams next month. 🙂

I've read some of your stuff - you've been threatening to do exams for years. I'll believe it when I see it. Hey, I'm sorry for you, dude. You clearly got issues. But impossible dreams about Oxford and super models won't fix your problems.

I will have a comfortable A grade in A-Level Maths but with every past paper published downloaded I can say confidently I am expecting an A* grade. 🙂 So, that would qualify me to apply for Oxford as well the LSE, UCL, KCL and SOAS.

But why only do one A-Level next year? Why not 3? You could have applied for 2026 admissions that way.

I think 1 in 3 manage an A* in AL Maths - whereas I’m predicted an A* in AL law and the pass rate for that is under 5% 😵*💫
My recent assessment grade was an A* so I should manage the A grade that I need…

Unfortunately, Mr T is right, you do need help. Or, prove us both wrong, and I mean in the next year or so, not the 12th of never.

Because some offences the main Disruptive Candidate 1 is guilty of is:

Assault occasioning actual bodily harm
Perverting the course of justice
Attempted theft of a mobile phone (multiple counts)
Making threats to kill (multiple counts)
Violent disorder (multiple counts)
Affray (multiple counts)

The rest did prison time for drugs, fraud and attempted murder.

Also, I had a racist teacher who refused to mark my coursework for GCSE IT to Higher tier standard and instead submitted false marks. Also, he asked my former friend Academic R3 to decide: "What do you think?" he asked him. He is expected to be banned for life as he continued harming Muslim pupils and their friends throughout the 2000s and up to the mid 2010s. ☹️

So, there will be a court case and I am going to sue my school too.

I would have achieved 7 X 9 grades and 2 x 8 grades i.e. 7A* 2A in the 2000s.

No it is closer to 1 in 5 who achieve an A* grade in A-Level Maths. 🙂

It is 40% in A-Level Further Maths. 😛 lol

I will be sitting A-Level Maths with certainty in June 2026. Because I have already arranged a date to do my exam entries as a Private Candidate at a college in Kensington, here in London which has 2000 or so mature students each year including 18,19 and 20 year olds too. Also, I already started studying since the end of August 2025. I will be finished with both Maths and Further Maths by end of January 2026. Then it will be past papers galore and vocabulary for French and Spanish.

Also, I will have £10,000 saved by September 2026 and can pay for 50 to 100 lessons for French and Spanish.

This is like watching a plane crash in slow motion. You really need to see a doctor, right now.

I've been through the NHS Mental Health process in the 2000s and 2010s. They concluded I had to do my A-Levels. 🙂

Your mental health issues are happening now, dude. You need help now. You're obsessed with things you say happened decades ago. Hey, you didn't follow the advice - it's decades later and you haven't got any A levels. Give your head a shake, bro, you're in a mess, go and see a doctor now. Wish ya better!
You can't judge me without the full facts. So, please don't tell me to see a doctor. It is not the answer. But you are entitled to your opinion. I am studying currently. So, please shut up.

I don't understand why you think I need to see a doctor? Just because I don't have A-Levels yet? Which pretty stupid of you.

I have repeatedly said in many threads before I am studying for A-Level Maths for examinations in June 2026. Also, A-Level Further Maths, Spanish and French in June 2027. So, please stop worrying about me.

No, man. I've read your stuff on a lotta threads. You got delusions, you got fantasies, you got stored up bitterness and anger about stuff you say happened years ago. Man, you're in a rut. You got no insight into your condition. Sorry not sorry to be blunt, dude, but you're playing out a disaster online. C'mon, man, there's no stigma in mental health issues. We all got 'em. Reach out to someone and seek some help. I mean this well.
