Tony Ruscoe   10 #13 Posted August 14, 2003 Our Head of Sixth Form told me that A-levels would be the hardest thing I ever did. Not true. My degree course was solid!  Congratulations KK! Those are results to be proud of! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
kittykat   10 #14 Posted August 14, 2003 im going to hallam (not exactly ivy league but nevermind) doing radiography which means it is mostly based at hospitals training so i wont see much of uni to be honest. Was going to do medicine but thought i wouldnt get the grades - there was one place left through clearing at newcastle (which i wouldnt go to anyway) but it was taken in within minutes. nevermind - radiographys less work.

burns80 Â Â 10 #17 Posted August 14, 2003 well done !!! it's all about how much effort you put in. they're in no way easy but i think results are better because people are taking the easy subjects (that's what i did) - i went into law and they didn't give a hoot what subjects you did. one of my friends who (due to his background) could speak fluent spanish and french - he did both of them at a level - got great results and is now earning 30K+ as a lawyer. haad he not got the grades at a level, he wouldn't have got into the university and got the job he did. Â you've got to work the system to your advantage !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

What do you do, just read dictionaries as a hobby? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
BAZZO Â Â 11 #20 Posted August 14, 2003 I am hoping to get into Hallam too. Someone told me you only needed a bottle-opener,pack of condoms and a box of tissues to get in. As its mostly sport-based the seminars are usually devoted to catching beanbags,swinging on goalposts and bashing your fellow students with a designer sportsbag. Its usually possible to be in the pub for about 4pm for a solid twelve hour binge. Just mark your envelope "Sport and Leisure Directorate" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
