UCAS - He shoots, but will he score?
I should be in bed... I have an induction for my new job at Tescos at 9am! "OMG, early!" I (don't) hear you cry (9am lectures? What are they?), but when I start the actual job it's 1pm til 6pm, Friday and Saturday - not a particularly early start! But apparently Bath has lectures from 8.15am... Cardiff suddenly bounds even further ahead in my estimation! Talking of which, my UCAS form is done: Hurrah! The only thing I haven't marked finished yet is the courses bit, because I still only have 3... I do have replies from the Bath and Cardiff admissions tutors saying that they'll take me on BEng with BCC grades, but I've stuck down Sheffield as well, since their standard BEng offer is CCC. I'll probably use them as my back-up, just in case of accidents. I'm fairly sure of managing a C grade, since I'd only have to gain 14 marks across 3 papers! Adding 74 marks for a B should be ok as well, given that I should manage to get at least 80% in M2 (+30 marks on last time) and 75% in P2 (+50 marks on last time!), even without improving P3 or P1. An A would be rather harder to achieve...
Anyway, it feels wrong to send off the form with only 3 universities on it. But I haven't got any others that meet the criteria of running design-based courses (as demonstrated by the "& Structural" or "& Architectural" titles on the MEng courses), will offer BCC or less, and that have an OTC! Since I don't have any others to add, I'll take that plunge now!...
Plunge taken... Brrrr, it was chilly! :p And now, to warm me up, a pair of:
Handy sites:
http://www.newstudent.org - A most handy site for new uni students and applicants: it has forums on each university, as well as a general one with diverse topics ranging from Who's been ill? to How much money are you taking?... (You need to register even to look at those links, but it's worth it :D) I especially recommend this to Podge, cos most of the people seem to be very emo... :p
http://www.dogpile.co.uk - A browser (pfft - Google it) with a handy extra feature: you can search for people by surname and postcode/town/county... How handy! The American version came up with just 20 Poyntzs in the whole of the USA... How rare!
