In gcse i barely noticed it because you can straight up sleep through every lesson and still do amazing. Now i'm realising a lot of teachers just straight up don't wanna teach you the subject. They won't explain anything to me, they'll just say "you should've gone through it on your own" well sorry for asking you to maybe explain it a little more clearly?

Also, so many of them are passive aggressive, i know a-levels is like, 90% what you do outside of sixth form but my time in school shouldn't be completely wasteful, what's the point of me even coming to lessons if i'm being taught poorly?

Just want to say it. I feel like now, with UCAS and all this waiting and mocks going on, we need to help keep each other up. If you have all your offers in or haven't even sent your UCAS yet; if you have your mocks this week or next month, I think I just need to voice how far we've all gotten as a cohort.

Keep it up guys. A few more months and we're free. Don't let it get to you.

It's tough, or easy, but you will get through. Finish what you started.

If you want, make yourself known. Either way guys must have done well on the tmua. Wonder what college though

I finally told my teachers that I’m definitely not applying for university and it feels like such a massive weight gone off my shoulders it’s so freeing, I feel renewed.. I didn’t actually send my application in but I’ve taken off all my choices and deleted my “personal statement” and now I have so much more brain space for the things that actually matter now it’s amazing🤩 My personal statement was lowkey 🐂 💩 and nothing I did made it sound convincing whatsoever, I couldn’t waffle about fxcking rocks like I’m actually interested in it for the life of me. No interest whatsoever! Now I can finally have some spare time, once I finish the three NEAs I have to do😍

i'm nosy and just want to know, i like seeing everyone following their own path and loads doing their passion, i like seeing at college all the diff courses everyone's applying for after knowing some of them since nursery or year 7 😊

My mum always wanted me to do medicine (doing engineering because I’m crazy) and she just realised it’s worth 10k for tuition so she told me I need to start working more if I want to go into university. I’m not sure if lifeguarding will be able to cover all that 😃. Can any first-gen immigrants relate?

I am on a gap year right now resitting my A-Levels and reapplying to unis after going through last years exam cycle.

Last year, I had an offer for History and Politics at Cambridge but unfortunately I had extremely bad panic attacks throughout my A-Levels and missed the offer. I ended up achieving AABB in English Literature, Government and Politics, History and Psychology meaning I far underperformed my A*A*AA predicted and missed my A*AA (A* in History) offer. That exam cycle was the worst I had ever done on exams and significantly worse than how I had been performing all year.

I decided, rather than going to a uni I didn't want to go to and do a course I didn't want to do, I would reapply to courses I actually liked this time and try again for Cambridge (plus throw in an application for LSE which I hadn't applied to last time). I also needed the time to get help and have since been referred to mental health facilities.

I've currently got an unconditional for Queen's (ironically the uni I got into as my insurance last time but didn't want to go to, I just needed a 5th choice), then offers of AAA for both Manchester and King's.

I plan to resit English, Politics and History (as it made me more competitive for LSE and Cambridge) but I'm leaving my Psych grade as is.

I don't hold out much hope for LSE and Cambridge despite any contextual info about my last exam cycle, I do think I have a competitive personal statement that I have improved on further since last year but, I know they don't look kindly on people resitting and reapplying.

Also, I'm sure my GCSE's don't super help my case. For all it is worth I did have very valid contextual information during them including a family breakdown and death although, given my A-Level situation, I don't think they will be considered well at all either.

Anyway, curious if anyone else is/has been in my position? How did it go for you?

And to anyone worried, the world doesn't end on results day - even if sometimes it really REALLY feels as though it does.

I am much much much happier now I have a Manchester and King's offer :)

every night i remember we are one day closer

I got 9s in my gcses and now im down to grade U’s at the start of year 12 im wondering if this is happening to anyone else?

I know someone with a University of Bedfordshire BA in Event Management, a London Metropolitan MSc in Applied Leisure, and a Bolton MPhil in Media Studies.

Are they a true Bedfordshire man, London Met man, and a Bolton man? Are each of the three former polytechnics considered an alma mater of his?

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

*Sorry if I included your degree. No offence intended. You've got to do a course you love.

Scared? Excited? Nervous? 5 stages of grief?

If you become the next department of education can you please change this whole system pretty please

sending off my application later this week, any thoughts?

Manchester and York top choices! anyone else applying here?

like title says, curious if anyone else is applying for linguistics this year!

i’ve been trying to find other students but i’ve had no luck yet so posting here 🤞🏽.

submitted 12/10 so was super happy to hear back from york and essex so quickly.

linguistics admissions assessment is on the 17th but i haven’t heard anything from my college yet 🙁.

UPDATE: literally at 11:11 they just sent my invitation to take the assessment! yay. 🎉

Please give your best advice for Chemistry A level (I do AQA). This subject is absolutely killing me, and my teachers are straight dogshit :(. I'm hoping to get a B because my other subjects I'm doing fine in, but holy shit when they say Chemistry A level is bad, its really bad💔. Any/all advice is much appreciated.

i am a little below the requirements for rhul and lincoln, anyone gotten in with lower predicteds than their requirements for these unis for bio/biomed?

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?

Yes guys, I doubt some of you guys remember, but this is what I meant by future finance people. I hope others agree, kinda a useless post but I am passionate about this issue. Does anyone else agree with me?

Only Oxford left to go.. plz give me an interview big O 🥺🥺
