"God damn you Uni."

I applied to loughborough, liecester, durhum and warwick, for software and electronical engineering, and computer science.
I was hoping to go to loughborough. And do software and electronical engineering.

But i got an offer today, from loughborough, they didnt let me do it, but gave me a counter offer, a course that requires 2 C's to get into...
It's basically made up of small sections of science based subjects, like chemistry, biology, physics, IT. etc. And at the end of the year, if i do well, i can continue with the proper computer science course. Which is complete crap.
I dont want to do that, or chemistry or biology, etc...
I can get 2 C's if i slack the rest of the year. I could of got the grades in the first place.

And if i got into Software and Electronical engineering its comprised mainly of Programming and Electronics, which i the 2 things i can do best at. So it would of been an easy course. (to a certain degree)

So it just shows how crap uni entry is.

Let just hope i get into Durhum.... :S

Annoyed me that has. It really has.

I applied to Collingwood as well.

Hehe. I had a letter from Durham ages ago explaining that if you do not receive an offer before Christmas, you won't hear from Durham until the 12th of January (or later most probably). So don't worry. :)

Im pretty sporty, and was hoping to do hockey at loughborough.

You have to be REALLY good, not just "I enjoy playing and I'm ok/fairly good", you have to LIVE sports.

You have to train several times a week, plus their first team plays first division national league hockey if that gives you any idea of the standard!

One of my mates went there, he's good but can't get into the team purely because of the training being so hardcore and the standard being stupidly good.

Plus on 'tour' in Spain last year they were the only team to take things seriously. Everyone was just taking it easy apart from 'Boro. The dirty scum.

I'll just have to see how it goes.
Im not being big headed, but i am great at hockey, and i'd most likely get in.
I've play loughborough many a times, they win, but individually, im just as good as them.
The posh gits.

Maybe they would have made you an offer if you had done better at AS.
