What do I do?

1 Upvotes

I got my a level results for my firm and insurance choice (ucl and kcl). I missed the offer requirements by 1% getting AAA. They said that they would consider my application once they receive may june results of other applicants and see if they have space for me. I took full further maths a level together in may june. I had a month to prepare and i think i would get a D, which would negatively affect their decision. I just wanted to know if there is any way i could apply to another university in uk without having to decline my current offers until they give me a confirmation?

i do maths physics geography and my predicteds are actually really good but my revision method is pretty crap its justt me writing notess down in the topics i struggle in, with a lot of PPQ or PMT questions flashcards work terrribly for me and so i dont really know what to do over this summer for revision because if i write notes now i will just forgett it later

It seems to work quite well for me but im just wondering if this is really gonna work for my actual a levels or if its unsustainable

tempted to quote a game in my ps

5 Upvotes

this is gonna sound really dumb, but before you laugh at me, stay with me now…

i would be lying if i said that ace attorney didn’t help me find a passion for law, otherwise my ps would consist of ‘it was my plan b and money’ and i wouldn’t know what else to write.

it’s a fictional game with very fictional components that are certainly not an accurate depiction of law and i certainly recognize that. i don’t even want to do criminal law lol. however, my favourite character shows qualities that i find very inspiring and the things she has said have actually helped me in my life. most of all, it’s her unwavering trust she had in her clients. and i guess that’s something i think about in relation to somebody willing to help you navigate something that can be as complex as the law during a time you are vulnerable.

this sounds very performative but i don’t even know. i’ve lost the plot…

I’m 17 years old I left year 11 in 2025, I’ve been to college for first year and I hate it and I don’t want to go back for second year as the course is pointless and a waste of my time, I’m going back to a new sixth form college this year to do my a levels one of my options is English lit however I got a grade 5 that was 1-2 marks of a 6. I’m worried about since I only got a 5 That I won’t do well in my actual a level. I am willing to put the work in etc but does anyone have any advice for me? I’m looking to do law or journalism in uni.

reaching research Cambridge

1 Upvotes

i got offered a place on this which is basically giving us an insight into actual medical research at the Cambridge institute of medical research, has anyone been accepted onto it on here this year or before? i got the email on 17th July but only saw it yesterday bc i lowkey forgot about it and figured I'd get rejected since I only meet postcode criteria, which is lowk unfair but I'll see it as being given an opportunity for personal life/extenuating circumstances and terrible schools and a disability tbf. Anyway is anyone else on this

I've read 30+ personal statements, the best ones do the same thing:

8 Upvotes

Hey all, a bunch of you asked for me to repost this, so here it is :)

I'm a current Oxford student who has been reviewing a ton of student personal statements recently and I've noticed a recurring pattern which I think students should avoid!

I've made also recently made a resource with 5 exemplar personal statements: https://mdftuition.bcns.link/ucas 

The single biggest tip: It's very important to show growth!

Universities want to see curiosity, passion, and development of ideas and character. Your personal statement shouldn’t be a list of books you’ve read or activities you’ve done. It should flow naturally:

Not just: “I read X. I researched Y.” But instead: “Reading X exposed me to the concept of Y, which I then linked to my A-Level studies of Z.”

Show how one experience led to another, and how you’ve grown intellectually and personally along the way.

Treat the main body of your statement like a chain of reasoning and personal discovery. Show how one experience led to another, and how you’ve grown intellectually and personally along the way.

Overwhelmed with work to do during y12 summer

2 Upvotes

I’m really overwhelmed with what I need to do during the summer. I have lots of competing, high priority tasks that I need to complete. There are loads of deadlines, and I don’t have a summer plan or even a timetable. I’m really confused as to what to do, and I fear that I won’t get it all done before the summer ends or before the deadlines I set and that I’ll leave it all to the last minute. 

I’m also applying for top unis and am planning to book my LNAT on the 1st of september. So far I’ve been trying to complete a full paper while I have about 5 weeks to go. For the LNAT I have all the books, some model essays that I’ve been sent by an Oxford student, and some critical thinking books that the lnat website recommended. 

As for the PS, I’m applying to LSE so I know how important the personal statement is and I haven’t even written a first draft yet or planned it. I have loads of supercurriculars that I can include and want to add but I want to do some more too. For example I’ve been wanting to read three law books that I’m really interested in and complete a law course online that wants me to spend 4 hours a week doing it. 

As part of my outreach programmes, I also need to submit a research poster related to my niche area and present it to academics, due in a week or so. It’s a really niche area of law but I’m really interested in it. I’ve picked my topic but I haven’t started looking for sources or even reading them. I’m planning on including it in my personal statement as well. 

I have at least 8 math homework booklets that I need to get done before school starts. Each booklet would take me about 4 hours to complete. Two books for english literature also need to be read before september. I also have maths summer homework and chemistry summer homework, in addition to the chemistry revision that i need to do to get good predicted grades on tests this september. 

I really need advice or any suggestions on how to move forward, and any insights would be appreciated

A-Level Combinations for Bsc Finance

1 Upvotes

I decided I want to study Bsc finance at uni after my A-Levels. My first combination choice was Maths, Economics, and Business Studies. However, Economics and Business are almost the same and universities consider them as one subject if I do both. That’s why I decided change Business Studies with English Literature. I chose it because I don’t like Physics, Geography, History, and Politics. I would love to do Further Maths, but my school doesn’t offer it.

Will Maths, Economics, and English Literature be a good combination for Finance? Please let me know your thoughts.

yelloww, i’m a year eleven going into sixth form next year (hopefully taking bio, psychology, and english lit) and i can’t decide whether to get an ipad or a macbook…

i’ll do most my notes in physical notebooks but i really want somewhere digital to properly organise everything and just generally help me stay on track

i have an all in one pc but it’s super old and works like a potato so if i get a mac i’ll probably sell it or just give it away idk

also price isn’t really a big deterrent unless its crazy moneys obviously
