One ambitious and two insurance ones <.<
No Cambridge or Oxford?
Grades not good enough to get into one of those, I suppose?

I'm just terrible at working. They look at your GCSEs for Oxbridge, and I didn't terribly in the subjects I just didn't care about. Not to mention I just can't revise, so I sort of fracked up my philosophy exam and ended up with a C instead of an A >.>Ah, like that. Birmingham's also a pretty great college though, no?

Have another ambitious one (what Uni btw?)Insurance is what you don't aim for, that's the point. Have two ambitious ones as (depending on the University, course spaces and average grades for the course) the actual grades they want can be far lower then what they're asking for.I really messed up my choices of Uni at the application phase, and so only had Cardiff Uni as a reachable offer and my insurance was to reset the year and aim for Leicester which had a higher (and at the time of the offer, literally impossible to do).Plus, there's always Clearing if it all goes horribly wrong and you could use that as a secondary insurance (though that one's a bit more chaotic - usually you have to sort out your own private accommodation and rushed finances that way).Whatever you decide to do though, good luck!
I need Google Translate for this thread.
Aaaaa bb ababa baba Is this britbong college language? Genuinely interested in how this works

Genuinely interested in how this worksThose are A-Level grades.So A-Levels are what most Britbong students do before Uni, from ages 16-18. In the first year, we have our AS exams, and then in the second we have our A2 exams, and these combine to make our final grade. Most people do 4 A-Levels but drop one after the first year, although I haven't dropped any, and some people have done more than 4 A-Levels.

I don't even know if I want to do university. I just want to make games myself and see where it goes from there.I'm doing physics, chemistry, product design and computing AS right now and right now, the amount of home stuff you have to do now sounds too much. I wouldn't be able to cope. I can barely concentrate inschool, let alone at home.
How should I vary my university applications?
