ive been able to check mine 4 the last hour due to a fault on ucas,but too scared!


I did that last year, but this year you couldn't cos it was down till 6am, I looked this morning and it was up

There was some pretty gutted people today, just glad I aint one of them. Some people with grades AAB are struggling through clearing and am in with CCD. Shame

Yano me Tom, always thinking of others

3 A's did you get then tom?

Am studying Sociology - the study of society


Glad I got the grades though, Clearing looks a *female dog* this year, something like 1 place for every 5 candidates and unless your on an ABB it looks like your gonna miss out.

My mates girlfriend missed out by 3 marks she needed ABB but only got ABC, which means she has to scrap it out as well, whats worse is hes about to dump her cos hes going to Tyneside Uni and she wont leave the north west.

AM just glad I'm sorted, and can watch the commotion unfold

Haha not quite, A, C, C, E, U.

The U was in General Studies so doesn't mean a thing to me, the E was in Biology which I wanted to drop before the exam so at least it's a few UCAS points!

I was predicted Cs for everything though (Other than General Studies, no prediction), so diregarding Biology 'cause I'm not taking that next year, A, C, C isn't bad. I 'think' they're high Cs as well 'cause for both of them I got A & D in the seperate parts.

But yeah, I'm happy with them, now looking forward to tonight!

You got any Uni in mind yet Tom? Newcastle/Durham?

Ucas is a real real pain next year, personal statements, choices, tracking, firm and conditional offers, then if your unlucky clearing, or lucky, this thing called "EXTRA" where if you do better than expected, you have a 2 week window where you can apply for as many Unis as you want whilst keeping your current offer.

Its all a bit confusing, which is why am glad to just about hit my grades

I really don't know at the minute Mike, we did the three year plan for the season ticket so that means we already have a season ticket next year, but I shouldn't really be taking that into account as anyone can go on it 'cause it's an adult ticket.

It is all very confusing though, we started looking at personal statements and everything before the summer holidays and they're reccomending to have them in by October so it's going to be quite hectic.

I've only been to have a look at one uni though and that was Leeds so need to get my act together and have a look at some more!

I looked at one.

Liverpool John Moores

Oh but we went on 2 trips as a college to Liverpool and Mancland.

Lol at you taking your season ticket into account that was part of my reasoning for staying quite close to home, can get back for the warrington games, plus Anfield is just around the corner

Haha yeah I wouldn't mind staying close to home, would mean still being able to play footy as well. Will just have to see what happens and how everything goes. I'm still not completely sure with what I want to do!

LOL, cant go out with any of my mates cos they all gone out with their mums, I just came back from the Italian. Highly embarassing that my mum had to tell the whole restauraunt, who did a decent enough job of pretending to give a damn.

Still, she is bankrolling me, so can't have it all

You people have no idea how shocked I, my mates, my family and my teachers are that I passed, cos I never took college seriosuly at all, if I did I could of gone to a better Uni.

Still in a bit of shock myself

Cheers Grae Btw...
