Education A-level Results and uni places- Good Luck!

I'm applying for chemical engineering via engineering next term, and doing A-level further maths and biology and pre-u chemistry and physics next year.

 

On the right tracks Further maths is a great choice btw, it's more rewarding than standard maths and it'll fairly manageable, especially after STEP.

 

Are you at Cambridge atm then? What course are you doing?

 

I have no idea what you guys are talking about with your A-Results thing and all the rest, but I want to be part of the happiness

I just paid my tuition for my first semester at École de Technologie Supérieure to study IT Engineering. This university is very underrated and has won the NASA Systems Engineering Award Competition two years in a row vs universities from around the world

 

Grats to all who've achieved things in academia and work lately. I just submitted some coursework and am doing an exam resit on monday, but other than that I'm pretty much on holiday 24/7...

 

I would take it for a few weeks... let's say a month

 

I realised this morning it was 8 years since I got my A-level results

Congrats to all, if you're going to uni then I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I did

 

Hey, Im sitting in a flat staring at your business school. I'm a Newcastle 3rd year, but all 5 of my flatmates are 2nd year Video Games Design.

 

same, haha. i feel so old.

congratulations to everyone who got what results they wanted

 

All A's and off to Oxofrd for Engineering/Physics. Couldn't believe the marks I got given how worried I was. (That said, I know people who got full UMS marks even having missed out the back page of the exam paper)

Hope everyone else gets what they need

 

got 43 points in IB diploma, but the applications didn't go well, rejected after interview from Oxford, rejected from LSE, UCL and St. Andrews, only got place in Bristol and I guess I will go there, for a year at least...

 

Have you been to Bristol? It's a wonderful place, a great uni and I'm sure many people would kill to get there. Including one person in this thread.

 

I have 40 since my first College degree. 1969 - summer of Woodstock. The Mankz would have loved the 60's.

A in my Add-maths. But I still have to wait 7 days until my GCSE results.

 

Is anyone else here going to Uni as a mature student? Or am I the only old(er) codger here?

 

From what I've heard uni applications are up quite a bit this year (14% for my course - apparently this is first year they've not had to go through clearing to fill all the available spaces) due to the recession (not really sure how that works), so places are generally harder to come by all round it seems.

 

Congratulations to all those who have now obtained their results.

I too had heard that university applications had risen. This could as bad as this sounds lower the appeal and employability of those with degrees as the "job market" if I wanted a better phrase will be overwhelmed with "generic" degrees so the pressure in a sense is increased to obtain a 2-1 or a first.

 

3rd year chemist Though technically still part of the natsci tripos.

 

People from college think there are no jobs -> go to uni for 3-4 years until the market picks up. No struggle for uni places really, there's always something you can do.

 

Are these scores anything like the ACT and SAT tests in the states?
