300 points? :/ I'm probably not going to Gloucestershire then.
 
So now I really need to buckle down and write my personal statement for CCAD. I don't want to BS it, but I don't want to end up writing the "I'm ~passionate~ about art!" shit that everyone else writes either. :[
 
Oh, well, I suppose. But biology's not that bad! It's not as if you're being attacked by chemistry. :(

(I think I'm incredibly lucky I already have 320 points, otherwise I think I'd have been rejected from everywhere instead of 2/5 universities. <3 my motley crew of AS/A-levels)

Yes, Chemistry is awful, I couldn't even do it at GCSE )x But Biology's just gotten horrible, I barely get any of it at all. Maybe if my parents hadn't forced me to take bloody Maths, I could have taken a fourth AS subject I knew I'd be good at, and not had to apply to the five least demanding unis I could find. (UCAS seemed to think Gloucestershire were asking for something around 240 as well, so yeah.)
 
I think my offers of admission were only based off of my Gr 11 marks, in which case I've probably already failed the conditions that they have yet to send. >:|
 
three down, two to go

8) that's my insurance secured
 
So I got a huge letter in the mail from Miami of Ohio. Judging by the huge "Congratulations" on the envelope, they've accepted me. So that makes three out of four that'd let me in, and only one that turned me down. (Sure, that one was my first choice, but still.)
 
Aberdeen gave me a BC conditional (C at Advanced Higher, B at Higher), which is annoying because then I can't use them as my reserve >:( And obv I got rejected from Edinburgh but I didn't want to go there anyway~

So yup. Definitely picking Dundee as my firm (the applicant day was really awesome <3) and Napier as my reserve because it's an unconditional. A+!
 
Totally done applying to CCAD and submitting scholarship stuff for SCAD. Getting there with Ringling (which fortunately has a later deadline).

Can't wait to hear back. D:
 
I have just recently gotten five recruitment-type letters from colleges. That's a lot. Out of them, USC, UGA, and Duke sound bad, but University of Chicago and University of Rochester sound decent. I might actually apply to them.

I hate how they send you a letter telling you to request more information. Can't they just send the poster about whatever in the first place?

... Duke as in Duke University? As in one of the best universities in the US?
 
The more I hear about people's interviews, the more grateful I am that I never had to do one.

Though I think, if I apply to do an MA, I'll almost certianly have to do one. Which is scary, but not as scary as the thought that I have no idea what I want study for an MA, nor where I'd like to do it. ):

How did you guys figure out what you wanted to do? The fact I love my subject is complete coincidence; I more or less picked it at random out of the prospectus.

Same with mine; I simply went to Psychology and Drama because the class was predominantly girls. Now I'm genuinely torn between going to a theatre college or going to Bath/Edinburgh for Psychology.
