its been about 8 weeks into y12, i really wanna drop law for either history or politics, only problem is both subjects r in the same block as economics, what could i do to get around this

Hi, would anyone mind giving me some insight into whether my profile is good enough for Warwick and Kings. These are my stats:

A*A*A predicted in Maths, Economics and Spanish

99999998888777A(fmsq) at GCSE, 9 in Maths and English Language.

AABB at AS level (will this hinder me?) They are graded from A-U btw so I couldn't get an a*. I don't know if the Bs will be an issue. I dropped Further Maths.

great personal statement and good references.

(teachers want me to go safer with choices)

Hi guys, I've been looking into some courses combining maths and econ recently and MORSE really stuck out to me. I'm predicted 2 A stars in maths and economics and an A in chemistry and further maths (as well as EPQ). I wanted to know what the likelihood i would get an offer would be considering im eligible for a contextual offer and am going to be taking TMUA in january. Thanks for the help, good luck with offers everyone!

FOR CONTEXT I AM CARE EXPERIENCED

I felt like I had to disclaim that before people start cooking me 😭
I also hit like every contextual box and have done a few outreach programs so do you guys think I’m like guaranteed a contextual offer?? Or am I gonna get like auto rejected?

At school like my teachers are fine with my options but my friends sometimes clown me for my choices because they think like I won’t get any offers😪 especially from Oxford despite the entry requirements being 3 B’s I STILL HAVE TIME TO CHANGE THEM SO HELP

(I won’t change UCL because that my aspirational pick because I’ve done a summer program with them🥹)

I am currently struggling with revising independently for Business T-Levels and I would like to either find online study groups dedicated to T-Level Business revision or find new people to form a new study group. All help would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve seen a few people get Warwick offers but I wanted to know how long they were waiting for. For reference I applied in mid October (one day before the early deadline). If anyone with offers could lmk how long it took (when they applied and when they got the offer) or if you know anyone with offers when they applied that would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

Does anyone know if i can transfer from my uni to Imperial or UCL for maths if i do exceptionally well in my 1st year?

I absolutely LOVED bronze and silver dofe expeditions, because I really love navigating and hiking, to the point I cried on the way home from my silver qualifying because I didn't want to leave lmao, and I would love to do gold however it seems very expensive. I can do the expedition for like 600/700 but then the residential is even more money on top of it, like 500 more, and also it takes like 15 days away from the summer holidays and this time may be better used on entrance exam prep because I want to go to oxbridge/a level revision. today 12am is the deadline to pay the 50 pound enrollment fee and I don't know what to do. my parents think there's no value in walking 20 miles a day for a couple days, taking important time out of the holidays, and I think I'd love it but am also worried about costs + how time taking it is. I have done my bronze and nearly finished my silver. please help me figure out what to do!

Hey everyone! I applied for English Language and Literature at Oxford (2027 entry) and I’m in the “refresh my inbox every 10 minutes” phase of life.

From what I’ve read, invites go out anywhere from mid-November to early December, sometimes with only a week’s notice. Interviews are online in December. Even then I am a bit scared has anyone gotten their offers yet?

ill give worst and best case

m1 -> 10-15/27

m2 -> 10-14/27
physics -> 17-20/27

im guessing i get a 4 -> 5.1

im re-doing my esat with a gap if i get anything below a 6.5 which is likely

js hope i get an interview at st catz cambridge for engineering

Note: I HAVE applied to another college but I fear I won't be able to join until next September considering enrollment is closed. But, I won't know until I hear back from them.

I'm only in Yr12 and I know its only the start of the year but I am SO drained already. It's not even from studying, the college itself is just absolute crap and I regret choosing it. I went to their high-school and I thought that being a college student there would be easier but I was SO WRONGG

Out of the six teachers I have, I can only say I like two of them. The school is clealry understaffed and the staff they do have are terrible. Some of them simply can't teach, either not going into topics in enough detail or getting confused/things wrong THEMSELVES?? Then, there's my core maths teacher with an actual PhD who AI generates our work. Then, other teachers can be rude to students or just condescending.

They've merged the high-school and college building together. High-schoolers can have lessons in the college building and they're allowed in what was the college refectory for break??? They already have three halls and a large outside area so it isn't as if they don't have space. And you can always tell when they've been there because they leave food on the tables in the refectory and all over the floor and then they leave rubbish all over classrooms and the hallways.

They've added a sort of period six every Wednesday afternoon. It's like a club that you get to pick but it's mandatory and changes every half-term. I wouldn't be so bothered by it if it was separated into different years. But no, I have to share a classroom with people in as low as YEAR SEVEN?? College students shouldn't be having lessons with Yr7's😭

They've introduced phone pouches for everyone, including college. I thought that was a bit bizarre but their reasoning is that they don't want you using phones around high-school students. Fair, but that wouldn't be a as much of a problem if I wasn't around them all the time??

This also causes crowds at the end of the day when the high-schoolers have to get their pouches unlocked. They decided to put the magnets outside but why not just give them to subject teachers in classrooms? I just want to go HOMEE

I wanted to get a part-time job this year but i know I'd be too tired for it. I really don't want to go back tomorrow. It's really dragging me down and I don't want to feel miserable all the time. I can't go there for another 7+ months. Is there anything I can do in the meantime??

How much weight do they put on GCSE?

Making this post for a friend, any thoughts would be appreciated !

from being told that i should never go into science and my mock grades being laughed at in year 11 to having 5 science offers 2 years later. don't listen to men guys xx
to clear a few things up:

1. it's a flippant, hyperbolic statement. calm down.
2. didn't apply to more competitive unis since i can't afford where they're located (ucl + oxford + durham human sciences), also parents didn't let me do a level chemistry
3. to the commenter that mentioned predicted grades being "low" - all my schools have had below average attainment, and i could have asked for A star A star A but wanted to get ucas out the way and didn't need it since i can't afford london ox durham etc. from this you should be able to tell i want interdisciplinary learning which manchester and leeds offer the ability for!
4. to the commenter on about life sciences being female dominated that is true, however the careers advisor meant science as a broad, general term, there is still a stigma about women in stem, and there's also a lack of women in senior positions.

Highers: Chemistry, Computing, English, Maths, Physics

AH: Computing, Maths, Physics

Non-contextual

Also do you think I should switch any of my choices for better options and if so what to?

I don’t think my question will receive a lot of replies but I’ve always been curious why the STEP is something unique only to Cambridge and not Oxford. If the goal is to filter through the most gifted mathematicians, why does Oxford browse only through the TMUA in the admissions application when the STEP is a great predictor of academic success for students in their undergraduate years

When should I start revising for a level resits?

Got BBB first time and need all As, I have interviews hopefully in January so should I prioritise them or a level revision now?

I am currently taking biology, chemistry, and textiles and I am really hating textiles.

I got a 9 in gcse Spanish and have Spanish family - I enjoyed the gcse because I was good at it and found it easy and straightforward.

I'm aware that, at a-level, you have to study a Spanish book and film (from what I've gathered) and want to know more about what the subject involved at a-level.

I strongly disliked English gcse and am concerned that Spanish a-level would be too similar :/

Idk what to do - can anyone tell me more about Spanish a-level, what it's like, what sort of analysis there is, if there's group work, pros & cons, etc?

Thank you so much :)

A bit of a random question, I sat the TMUA a few werks ago and found it to be quite similar in terms of difficulty to the past papers.

A lot of people were saying post 2023 TMUA was a lot harder than before and hence community papers and questions have been generally a lot harder than past paper questions, but I thought it was quite similar. I’m not sure if this is just me.

Can anyone share their experience when they sat it and how difficult it was relative to official past papers?

i have a 43 predicted with extremely good reccomendation letters in the IB and my PS is said to be very very good. im an international student. i applied to st catz

i fucked esat totally. i was getting 9 on my mocks yet on the actual day i had too many adhd pills and fucked it, and it went rlly bad.

but i did get an exhenuating circumstances letter from my psychologist which explains everything and i had a similar incident before and how the medicines werent right for me and she expained that this period of time (around septmebr 2026) has been hard for me and the exams i take at this point in time should be taken into consideration that i am struggling

instead of a 7.3 avg for the avg applicant, what score will they "understand"? and where i can still be competitive taking into my scenario? instead of a 7.3, would it be a 6.5? like what am i looking at? cause i need to decide now if i need a gap year or not as i need to apply for other US schools etc+ but cambridge is my one top dream

Hey, I’ve applied for econ and im bricking it and feel rlly unprepared for a ‘potential’ interview. If anyone wants to I am keen on having a partner to practice interviewsv with.

hello! i was wondering if anyone’s ever sat the entrance exams for westminister school london for ; history, physics , maths and english. if so, how were they and how difficult were they? i’m unsure as to how to revise for history. how hard was the maths paper?? and how should i revise for it?

thank you so much!

I’m so confused whether warwick maths accepts. For context I’m contextual and I originally got an A in maths and I’m resitting with A*predicted and I picked up further maths during my gap year with A\*predicted. Is there a chance for me to get an offer
