Just a point of interest: at my college we were all enouraged to apply right away and defer instead of applying post-results (if we wanted gap years) because there will be a mad rush of people applying for 2005 entry to avoid the fees!

But it won't affect your year, only those currently in Year 11 - so now what's your excuse for voting Tory (and I don't believe them when they say they won't make people pay more for their higher education or that students/parents won't pay tuition fees(.

That is such a snobbish attitude. Yes there are a lot of so-called 'Mickey Mouse' courses around but instead of investing money to improve them or create more places on more important courses, the Conservatives would simply cut over 10% of all higher education places. This could have serious finiancial implications for many institutions, especially the newer universities, and would mean fewer graduates, which our economy requires to continue to compete with other nations.

Probably 2006 (when I start) If Labour don't drop the policy before-hand.

Actually, it would, becaue no-one would apply post A Level, because they'd fear the charges, so there'd be more applicants in my year than there would be normally, which equals more competition. And I wouldn't be able to apply post A Level if I wanted to avoid them (ie I'd have one shot at Cambridge).

We can only have so many academics. I am not a snob, I just value skills-based jobs as much as any other. Many do not.

But Tek you will only need one shot at Cambridge! I think if one can't succeed first time round then they are somehow cheating themselves by trying again - but that's just me!

Many degrees are vocational-based. Have you ever looked at a prospectus for an ex-poly???? For example, Central Lancashire offers specific degree courses in nursing which provide a high level of expertise, and their graduates are highly employable. I do believe that HE has a place in offering vocational courses as long as they are structured sensibly.

cheating himself? how? surely if someone wants to go to a particular uni they are just being true to themselves by giving it a second go?

I know someone who has applied to Oxford twice unsuccessfully and is now applying to Cambridge. He just needs to drop it because it is holding up his life. People need to realise that there are plenty of other institutions which can offer an excellent education and prospects. If I hadn't been accepted I would not even have considered applying again - life goes on and there are other universities in this world.
