I am going in to year 13 and am taking maths Biology chemistry economics. Im predicted 4 A*s and want to apply to Oxford for biology. I am inclined to drop economics as the course only requires 3 A levels and economics is least relevant. It will also free up lots of time to revise other subjects. I want to know if I should drop or not and if there are any benefits to applying with 4 A levels.
I got maths: 8, language:7, literature:8, biology:7, chemistry:7, physics:7, history:8, food tech:8, french:5, further maths:6. I’m worried because I got no 9s and most of my grade 8s are in humanities. And if so what unis should I aim to apply at.
11 9s! full marks in lit! 97/100 in bio 2! can hardly believe it!! HI r/6THFORM SO EXCITED TO BE HERE FINALLY
I know I’m a week late but I was unable to access my alevels at all. I checked my results now and I got a DDE. I thought I did good on atleast one. What do I do?
I was predicted AAA, had an offer for Glasgow for AAB, but ended up getting A star Economics A star politics A in maths (7 marks off A*). Should I take a gap year and reapply to Oxford, LSE, Warwick, St Andrews, Edinburgh (I live in Scotland so these 2 are free). Or should I just go to Glasgow this year…
Edit: Guys please send what you would do in my position, I’m not leaning towards PPE as it’s not so maths reliant
When I got my results today, my friend group wanted to go to sixth form collegeB all together, and told me to apply for it. I did because I was gonna apply regardless and I thought that them including me felt really sincere- like I was finally getting into a group. Just to find out that they all secretly applied for sixth formA AFTER I applied for the other one, and then went out for lunch without me after telling me that they were all staying home.
I know it’s not the biggest deal to some, but to me this made me feel extremely upset, especially since I’m neurodivergent and I’ve always had a pretty hard time fitting in. It’s okay if they wanted to switch, but I feel like it was an attempt to just remove me from the friend group again. Now I feel extremely nervous and nauseous to start college by myself, and I think today just ripped my self esteem to shreds.
I recently got my A level results and was happy to get A*s in maths and further maths but was disappointed with a B in physics. I wanted to do straight maths or maths with stats at uni and I have a place at Warwick to do maths and physics. I really don’t want to do physics at uni, I was so bad at physics in A level and i feel like I would hate doing it at university. I want to take a gap year and reapply to top unis like Imperial, LSE , Warwick again but the only thing holding me back is the B in physics. Im so stuck on whether its worth taking a gap year and resitting physics because those unis look negatively on resits. If i get a good TMUA score could this make up for the fact I’m resitting and if so whats the type of score I would need?
just got my A-level results, and I did better than expected — 3 As, even though I was only predicted 2 As and an A (my school called these "hopeful" predictions). Because of that prediction, I didn't apply to elite universities like Oxford or LSE.
I took the LNAT and scored 28. I've been accepted into Bristol but rejected from UCL.
Now I'm wondering:
got reddit during my a levels and have to leave just as i entered 😭😭
i will miss all the rants before and after papers lmao, and i wish all the outgoing yr 13s all the best! see u guys soon on the uni sub now 😭😭😭
So long story short.... I fked up.
I had an imperial and brum uni offer, the imperial offer was A*AA but the brum offer was AAA, so naturally I insured brum.
Come results day, unfortunately I got A* A* A instead of AAA so I had to go to Imperial instead of brum.
I liked brum more because it seemed less nerdy and more relaxed.
My thinking process was, since I insured brum, I could reject imperial even though my offer was confirmed and I could go brum instead.
(THIS WAS NOT THE MOVE I REPEAT DO NOT DO THIS)
I rejected my offer to the realization I was put in clearing, and I have called imperial multiple times and they have either not picked up or told me that there was nothing they could do. I have attached receipts below, what the hell do I do!!! 😭😭😭😭
(posted this in r/ucat but got made fun out of instead of helped lol)
Apart from studying what else do you guys do ?
About the personal statement should I put heavy emphasis on super curriculars in q1 and q3 or do the colleges care more about proving deep math/chem skills?
And if yall have done super curriculars then what kind is needed etc?
Also how effective is supplementary exams like APS ? I am applying to Cambridge imperial ucl manchester and Birmingham and Ive seen a fair amount of people who get into the top colleges take these exams. But im not sure since I already have my board and ESAT.
Any kind of help regarding the entire application and process would be appreciated since no one I know from my circle is applying .😭😭😭
(first reddit post sorry for the rambling😭😭)
Basically I've already completed 4 A-levels obtaining very good results, but am still 16 years old. I'm a bit undecided on whether or not to go to sixth form. I've been home educated my entire life and decided to take 4 A-levels this year since we planned on moving to Belgium where GCSEs are not relevant.
I want to go study engineering at top unis such as hopefully Cambridge or Imperial. In sixth form I would complete 3 new A-levels which tbh are a bit unrelated to engineering but still really interest me and might open new perspectives. (Bio, Comp Sci, Psychology)
My parents would like me to start university next year, but I'm not sure yet personally. I would love to go to sixth form for two years and experience it all completely since I haven't had those experiences before unfortunately.
Alternatively I could start at a clearing course and complete 1 year before going off to uni maybe, although that sounds a bit strange. Or of course I could just stay at home and get a job and do extra courses online.
The downside of sixth form is it might be a bit rigid and inflexible for me, and I might spend that time better doing other learning in the field of engineering. However I do want to be part of the social community that a sixth form offers.
Thanks all for your advice!
After dating this girl for the last 3 years I come home and find her cheating with some random guy in my bed.
We dated for 3 years out of A levels, sixth form sweet hearts. She is at university studying nursing and whilst at university she is living with me in my flat. She basically stays at mine all the time and even moved her uni stuff to my place. Since sixth form I am working part time in some local consulting firm just general office stuff.
I loved her and we even had our anniversary in her home country. I booked the tickets ofc. Then I come home early from work to see her being a bum, lying naked in bed with another guy. Worst part was he was chopped. I wake them both up and tell them to leave, I did not let myself get angry.
So my question is, should I go to Warwick to study A&F to try to get into IB or continue working towards my accountancy qualifications?
I'm very interested in this question. I'll be going into yr 12 this september, and my 6th form gets a ton of free periods. I want to know what the typical range is for a lot of people.
holy original undermarking (history AQA)
We are told by nearly everyone that one you begin your A-level journey, especially in year 13 that we must sacrifice our social life. However, I have noticed that this is not always the case in my environment, as I frequently see dumps and videos of students enjoying life outside of education on their social media whilst posting their A/A* results on August 13th on some of the most difficult subjects such as Further Maths/Physics. I have found A-level content to be very challenging in the sense of the amount of content and practice I must put in especially for an A grade and yet the lifestyle they seem to post online seems impossible to maintain simultaneously. Do any high achieving students have any advice or does it all come down to 'natural intelligence' which lets them have the freedom of maintaining such a lifestyle and good grades?
