• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    as long as you do a hell of a lot of work experience and networking. most humanities degrees are useful insofar as they show that you have the ability to apply yourself to a task, which is why they've become (rather unfairly, I should add) a prerequisite for almost all non-menial jobs. other...

    Well... UCAS doesn't open till 8am, but my school has sent out provisional results and it looks like I'll get into York. :D And yes, I've been F5ing on my email for the last hour. Barely got four hours sleep. :D

    Was the result what you expected? :D What's your first choice? I wasn't sure if there were any unis which had started requiring A*s.

    Might as well revive this thread, it's where most A-level stuff goes. Tomorrow is results day for Brits. Are you guys expecting good news or bad?

    oooh choose York as your firm! we could be flatmates. :P but in all seriousness, I dunno. both Warwick and St Andrews are usually ranked fairly closely in the league tables, with York a few places behind. St Andrews has quite a horrible reputation for poshness and annoying ex-public school kids...

    There is NEVER too far away. I deliberately avoided London unis because I want a bit of independence from my family. :D

    AAA offer from York, plus I've got Birmingham AAB as my insurance... fairly good outcome all things considered (and the whole 'rejected from Oxford' thing hurt a bit less once I found out that almost everyone I knew who applied got rejected). Bristol still haven't replied. frankly, fuck them.

    I applied back in October, and it's likely to be another month before I hear from all my choices. waiting is indeed painful. tally of results so far: Newcastle AAB Birmingham AAB (will probably become my insurance choice) Oxford REJECTED (all the worse because at the interview stage I was...

    so basically the hierarchy goes Wales/Scotland > London > Kent > US for the first time ever, sucks to be American.

    but you're even less important than the Scots. ^_^ basically it boils down to "fuck being English"

    no, only people north of the border get low tuition. :( but this is precisely the thing I'd want to get away from.

    also, I asked my cousin (who's applying to do a joint French and Maths course at somewhere-or-other, might be Sheffield?) and he said that joint courses aren't exactly unheard of. especially with English/History, which are the only two subjects I'd really consider beyond A-level. so at least I...

    i think i have to decide this year. or is it the beginning of next year? i think it's the start of year 13 when you have to decide, 'coz you get your AS-levels then. either way i have no fucking clue. not even sure what subject i want to take.
