Re: Ucas and university
Good luck lads and - if there is any - ladies! Ucas was a peasy for me both in the working out what the hell they were on about and getting into the Uni's, though I did pick Uni's which were guaranteed to accept me.
Feel sorry for you Oxbridge people, why put yourself through all that elitest crap? Go as far away from all for as long as possible, find a good department for your chosen subject(s) and go from there. I wouldn't be able to stand it in any of the 'established' up their own arses Uni's, which is why I avoided them :p

Re: Ucas and university
Not that I really want to get into this, but it's not quite like that. Sure, there were people who had clearly had a more privileged upbringing, but no more so - in fact, less than where I am now.Originally Posted by JAG
And, as most people here seem to be doing them, sciences are particularly unfashionable amongst the elite - so plenty of 'normal' people to do the whole prole solidarity thing with, if that's what's wanted.
But honestly, at the uni - most people get along perfectly well, interact socially with everyone etc. etc. Yes there are some 'rahs' who only associate amongst each other, but then again - it's the same the other end of the scale - only slightly dirtier and not so well spoken.

I got Bmat results... 22.4 so UCL should interview me. Happy for once.
Now, to actually get As in the exams...
Re: Ucas and university
Well, Oxford has quite a good medicine department...
I'm a bit confused, though. You decry the 'elitism' of these unis, but isn't your refusal to even consider going there only propagating that elitism?

Re: Ucas and university
JAG's just jealous that he didn't get in...
I've got all my prospecti through the door now -- the Universities of St Andrews, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Imperial College London, Oxford, and Cambridge. The latter would be my preference. I know there is a limit of universities to which one can apply, can someone please tell me?

Re: Ucas and university
You can only apply to six, or four for Medicine, Vetsci or Dentistry. You can also only apply to either Oxford or Cambridge-not both.

Re: Ucas and university
Pardon me for saying but not only do you have no idea which unis I did actually apply and get accepted for but you also do not know my grades. You would probably do better to think before you make silly comments.
You can apply to 6 unis if it hasn't changed from last year.
True, very true but I doubt my lone stand makes much difference ;)I'm a bit confused, though. You decry the 'elitism' of these unis, but isn't your refusal to even consider going there only propagating that elitism?

Re: Ucas and university
No need to be so moody, JAG, it was only a joke...
Either Cambridge of Oxford but not both... damn... guess it'll be Cambridge, then...
