"So. GCSEs anyone?"

Tell us your results and then everyone else will tell you how useless they are, etc...

Maths : A

Only did that exam. I do the rest next year.

And you?

What are you going to study merm merm?

I feel ashamed for my country's poor showing :' {
Their entrance requirements are stupidly high and yet their rating is actually comparatively crap! When I'm in Queens I'll ensure they do something to get the extra 4% or so they need to jump 10 places. Not that I'm doing medicine, but I'll help them anyway.

Anyway, it doesn't matter hugely, you end up with the same degree when you leave them all (unless you do an intercalated year, which adds some letters on to your name)

Oh yeah. I dunno. I just assumed there only were 20 unis that did Medicine or something. I'd say most Med schools are pretty good anyway, since they all tend to get loads of funding.

League tables are to be taken with a pinch of salt anyway. One of the things they're weighted on is "average A-level scores of entrants". A real shocker that Oxbridge would come top every year, eh?

There must be more than 28 medical schools in the UK?

Although it does sound believable.

I used quotation marks around "isn't that good".
Surely that makes it clear that I was?

Wait, who's being sarcastic here?

It really doesn't work on the internet. The first thing you wrote munn, that was sarcasm, right?





anyway




I think there are only 28 medical schools in UK, though I could be wrong

Yeah, so?
I don't understand?
Obviously that's only the top 20, but there's at least 100 Uni's in the UK, so that means there's loads of Uni's that are a lot worse, no?

Yes. Have you actually looked at the tables though?
The uni at the bottom is rated 94.4/100

I know!
