Ashley Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 But you didn't fail you passed, barely. Besides if you did fail you just wouldn't put it on your C.V and make up something you did for the 3 years like teaching in a village in Africa for example. N.B: Lying on a C.V is wrong and you should never do it Don't take my words too literally :p Pendulum, Zane Lowe and Chappers and Dave on freshers week this year! Zane and Pendulum were great last time! Score! We shall probably have some third-bit slut from Hollyoaks who left five years ago and has yet to do anything with herself.

Blackfox Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 @Fresh - yeah but I'm sure they messages everyone saying it wasn't liekly to go ahead now? (regarding Hull uni) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Last message I got was one saying it's all up to the new events manager (whoever that maybe). I guess we will find out in due time. I'm sure our freshers week will be great no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tphi Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Zane Lowe is good, though he does play the same records every time. He's been at my Uni the past two years and his playlist hasn't changed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninty 182 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Hey, it's probably been answered in this thread already but it's too big to read through - When do the A2 results come out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problematique Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Thinking seriously now about chemistry, toxicology and pharmacology. Manchester seems a good choice for me, and was thinking also of Imperial, however I'm not doing Maths A-Level so it's futile appyling I suppose. Whilst Maths A Level is important, it's not necessarily a prerequisite for chemistry. One of my friends on my course (at Oxford) didn't do A Level maths but she's doing fine (just finished second year). First year requires a little more work under the circumstances, but it's fairly doable. In any case, Organic and Inorganic chemistry require very little maths as it is, physical chemistry will be the only problematic one. And there are very few people who don't struggle at one of the disciplines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightwolf Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I got my offer from sheffield last week, was told I'd hear from accomdation straight after >.< I hope they contact me soon! congrats columnar ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellmeister Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Received a letter from accomodation a few days ago, seems I got into the "best" (acknowledged by those there as being the best anyway) place, and we even have a Harry Potter formal.. woo >_> Really want my results now.

The fish Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I got my letter confirming my loan amount today. Yay, future debt! All I need now is confirmation of accommodation and results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I have no idea when my finance will be coming through. I asked them to get my dad to confirm everything online and they sent him a form instead -_-. So I then swiped it and filled it in and sent it off. They phoned him to confirm something and he said "I never filled in, my wife must have done it" so they sent him it again and he took his time. They then asked for proof my mum has left. So he's asked them how exactly you prove that. But of course he's old and doing all this through the post. And the one year I'm going to need my loan >_> But in other news, I may do another undergrad...I'm pretty sure I want to work within animation and I'd rather do a postgrad or just a (decent) course on animation but postgrads expect an art degree and I can't find a course at present. A near(ish)by art college does a two year undergrad, but then im another £12,000 in debt -_- And does anyone know if you go back to uni again do they charge you more or give you less loan or something like that?

nightwolf Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 whens about do you start? 22nd? Apprently we don't get accomdation info back til they get out results. Well I got in for definate a week ago, so if I don't hear anything back next week I'll be ringing/emailing etc to ask why. I don't particularly want to wait until the end of august. So fingers crossed ^_^ Once that's sent I can stop worrying because then everything is sorted. Well except books and stuff of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I got my BTEC result - I got a Merit! 80 UCAS points in the bag! + 30 from last year's D in Psychology I'm on 110. Which means I need 150 from two more subjects. Which is CC. >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Here is a general tip I got off a teacher I once had. Once you get your results if you get better than what you expected (or needed for firm choice) you can hold the spot at your choice and still enter clearing. Once in clearing new, better, opportunities may open up now your results have exceeded your predicted grades. I have a friend who was meant to go to Sheffield but ended up going to Manchester b'cos of this and he says that once outside of UCAS everything become a lot easier. If it all doesn't work you would still have your held fim choice to fall back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's abit odd, surely if it's your firm choice you want to go there in the first place and would have picked manchester rather than sheffield originally? Rather than pick sheffield then go for manchester.. gah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, manchester denied me going on their games programming but let me on computing, which was also computer science. It was also the same class as somebody i originally went to college with, although it's the same when I go to sheffield I don't mind the person as much. Plus the course and tutors seemed abit dull..and I'd have to live at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
