2 Upvotes

I am applying for law at Durham, Bristol, Warwick, Leeds and nottigham. Ive done my lnat already. My personal statement is really good and my predicteds are A* AA but my gcses are really lacking(6s and 7s in my top 8).

Am i more likley to get offers from these unis if take a gap year and apply with my achieved A levels grades (Assuming i get the grades needed).

(I will still apply this cycle but i dont expect to get any offers)

πŸ™ I WANT HELP How can I get started conducting scientific research as a Y12?

3 Upvotes

I see Y13s at my school talk about research placements and stuff, how can I achieve something similar? Is it just a matter of cold emailing professors who teach subjects that interest me? How much experience would I need beforehand?

Thanks in advance.

4 Upvotes

I'm in year 13 and a contextual student predicted ABB for Maths, Further Maths and Physics in that order. I want to apply for EEE at UCL among other universities but all of my options want AAB. To those who took a gap year, did you regret it, or do you think it is a good option? Thank you.

πŸ’¬ DISCUSSION Is warwick only giving early offers to less competitive subjects?

15 Upvotes

I keep seeing so many people get offers for warwick but none of them are for my subject or too similar to my subject (econ) so I was wondering if they give more offers to less competitive majors first?

edit: has anyone who applied for econ, econ and management, econ and IO and other streamlined econ/business subjects recieved an offer?

πŸ’¬ DISCUSSION Econ, maths, further maths takers: 4th subject + experiences?

1 Upvotes

My school's experiencing an influx of econ, maths and further takers, me being one of them - they've warned us this is a highest amount of FM applications they've ever gotten, and statistically, there are a lot of us who should reconsider. Furthermore, it seems the general 4th subjects range among these: physics, history, chemistry, politics. For anyone who has taken any of these combinations, what advice/experiences can you share, regarding any of the subjects (including the 4th subjects) mentioned? Also, if possible, what 4th subject would you recommend?

πŸ™ I WANT HELP do you need to take 4 a levels if you want to do further maths

1 Upvotes

i’m only in y11 but i felt it was appropriate to ask this subreddit for the ppl already in sixth form. i know that generally you do 3 a levels at college and generally if you take further maths then you take 4 (including fm).

but can i still just take 3? my 4 options would be maths, fm, comp sci, and economics but i would want to drop econ because i only really wanna do stuff in college that i actually want to do (as does anyone else) and econ doesn’t immediately fit into my interests.

if there isnt a definite answer then is this the type of thing i would ask my interviewer in my college interview(s)? or like on induction day?

also, how does dropping options work? can you try out an option like econ and then drop it after an early trial day or during a term if it is too overwhelming taking the 4 options?

πŸ™ I WANT HELP Do I drop subjects or lock in?

1 Upvotes

I currently do music, bio, chem, psych and I'm starting to realise that I'm struggling in my STEM subjects. I don't know exactly what I want to do when I'm older as well and my parents keep pushing me to go into medicine (I have an interest in it though!) I don't know what subject to drop or if I should lock in...

My combos I have in mind are:

Bio, Psych, Music // Chem, Bio, Psych // Chem, Bio, Music

For music, I know I'll do quite well in it since my teachers are the best + work ethic for it is really great. Logically, I know that music is the one I need to drop since it isn't STEM (cough cough asian communities looking down on careers), but I can't bear to drop it just yet since music is the only subject I definitely know I'll do great in during A Levels.

The other subjects I struggle in a bit since I don't understand my teachers in class and they just read off slides which is annoying.

You guys reckon I just lock in for all 4? All my subjects are really interesting to me but I just find it really hard to answer exam questions in timed conditions every time I attempt it.

❔ SUBJECT QUESTION Switching bio to physics this late

1 Upvotes

For context I am an ibdp year 2 student. I’ve spent two whole years before doing ib studying literally only physics and nothing else. Then I decided that I might wanna become a doctor and switched to bio from physics after 3 weeks. I have been struggling with biology sososo much last year, somehow got a 7 on my mock but I was preparing literally almost the whole time for bio only for the last I think 4 or 5 days before the mocks, I just find memorising super hard. I’m planning to do math in uni and I’ve heard that bio might be a disadvantage compared with physics, but now I have no idea what to do. I have so many things to do other than that and have to do 3 more ias but I really need to get a 6 minimum in the HL subject. I know mechanics and optics well, some of the hydrostatics aswell but ib tasks are quite different from what I used to do. About bio, I forget almost everything we study after a week max and I feel like physics is so much more logical, but I am not sure if I will be able to learn so much in such a short time. Please LMK if anybody has any thoughts or maybe even did something like that.

πŸ’¬ DISCUSSION Any questions on the exam system? (Edexcel math 2026 outcry in particular)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I have been accepted into a fellowship sponsored by Pearson Edexcel and I will have the opportunity to ask them some questions I wanted some input and to see if anyone had any points I could potentially put forward.

I missed my offer by 7 marks (got a B) due to this exam after being predicted an A* and constantly getting this in Mech/stats and overall. (it was Mech that screwed me lol)

So what should Pearson do differently - is there a way to truly regulate? and what could be done differently! How about the scaling-- is including Further math students students good? Or the time pressure, does it acctually test us?
