    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.

    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?
    True, very true but I doubt my lone stand makes much difference ;)

    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    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...
    It was not theirs to reason why,
    It was not theirs to make reply,
    It was theirs but to do or die.
