3/5 offers, nigga.

Goml

what? why only 3/5? you had good predicted grades from what I can remember.

the other 2 wait until the deadline before choosing

Oh, I'm scared about mine I've only made 2 choices. Engineering at either Portsmouth or UCL

PE?

Chem engineering is supposed to be really hard. Sucks for me because I'm looking at double majoring that with electrical engineering, which is also supposed to be really hard.

But I'm just going for the bare minimum of a 3.0 GPA, so whatever.

ChE and EE? Nice.

God, I can't even begin to tell you how much I hate chemistry.

It's just all the memorization that comes with chemistry that's a pain in the ass. Learning about how atoms and molecules work is interesting for me though. But yeah, unless I change my mind again I'm looking at working with energy and power. I have the email of this guest speaker who was the same dual major as I want to be and he helped design and improve the fuel cell, so that's helpful I guess.

The memorization is what kills me. The thing I love about physics is you just have to remember your math and your laws and if you really needed to you can just derive your eqs. of motion from there.

The amount of tea and crumpets in this thread is too damn high.

Ugh. I hate how they seem to think whether you're an interesting person will affect of you do well. Why does it matter? You're paying to do it, surely only the grades matter.


I'm
Not looking forward to beginning Y13...

Year 13 is okay. Twice as much work (granted I am still doing 4 A-Levels) but I find the topics in my subjects to be more interesting, at least. Once you're done applying to UCAS you don't have to worry about it anymore, just let the offers come in.

Well I do my astrophysics module in A2 physics and my computing coursework next year, so that's cool.

But I'm boring. I had to do a CV and support letter as a task in this thing at school and my CV was half a page long. Most of it was the contact details. I have nothing to put on stud like that because I don't really do stuff.

I don't do stuff either. I just sit around playing video games. However, try getting some work experience whenever your college tells you to do it. I did a week at IBM and I think that was one of the things that really sold my application.

I do sixth form, and I don't think they do that stuff.

I'm at sixth form too. Our sixth form gives us the final week of term off for work experience, however if yours doesn't do anything like that then perhaps try to do some in the summer.

Yeah. There's not really much where I live which sucks, especially as I would prefer nothing to working in a cafe or a resteraunt. When I turn 18, I'm going to look at GAME but that's still a year and a half yet.
