I wanted to know whether you think I have a shot at Oxford:

GCSEs

2 A*
7 A
2 B

A Levels:

Assuming I get say, ABB or better

In the general Economics, Business management, mathematical areas.

(Also, for this exercise, we can assume I pass the interview too.)
:)

Thanks.

Sometimes they do lower requirements for highers if you passed tham in one year instead of over 2.

Dundee Uni does that too.

Edinburgh do law, don't they?

Just they have fairly low requirements, so probably aren't as good as Glasgow or Strathclyde.

It's like BBBB compared to AAAAB

St Andrews is miles and miles and miles away from Edingburgh.

I wanted to go, but they didn't offer the subject I wanted, so I didn't.

Are they not the same University?

Or are there 2 in Edinburgh.

And if you do go to Oxford and graduate you can then jump off the bridge and break both your legs!

Personally, I can't see why anyone would want to go to Oxford.
Buy, if you're really after it, and you can get AAA(A) for your A-Levels, then go for it, but prepare to be potentially dissapointed.

Laptops are useful but sooooooo annoying in lectures.

When I was at Uni a few people had them and all you could hear as click, click, click as they typed out notes to the lectures.

My Advice: Buy one if you want to annoy people in lectures.

My mate had his laptop stolen twice, he bought it especially for uni. He only ever used it for playing games too.

He's got a desktop now.

Depends what you want to do. Some courses have about a 10-1 application to position ratio where as others have a much lower one.

You might as well have a go, you get 6 choices for Universities so they can only say no.
