    After 3 uni's declined my admission (UM, MSU & WSU, due to affirmative action concerns), and Dad lost his Ford job, I dropped out of high school and found work. A teacher friend hooked me up with the GED, and I took night courses at Oakland Community College. The Army intervened, and I took CLEP tests, and attended whatever local community college courses I could.

    Eventually, Chaminade University in Honolulu offered (since I was a GI) to consolidate all my credits and short, month-long, but intensive, courses to "catch me up". So I burned up my saved leave time, and used the GI Bill to pay for, and attend, those. I never finished a degree, since I got transferred to some fairly nasty places to do security. After discharge, I've taken some paralegal courses from National University, thinking to prepare for my third career. But had to stop that recently.

    To answer "what uni are you going to?", I have to say: Chaminade University. Nice place. Good folks. Maybe they'll take me back. :)
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    I'm considering applying to Oxford

    But also thinking about going to America. Though it would be expensive and maybe not such a good idea...

    BSc (Hons) in Chemistry from the University of Salford, with the 2nd year spent on an exchange programme at the University of Toledo (USA)

    After 3 uni's declined my admission (UM, MSU & WSU, due to affirmative action concerns),
    So let me get this right, they rejected you because you were too white?
    "I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

    Already finished one degree in Theoretical Physics from Durham University, now working on my PhD at Swansea. Speaking of which, I should get back to work.
