"Attention! Those who have applied for or is applying for university this year..."

Hi. It's about the reference part on the UCAS form. Now, according to the college, only my personal tutor, or someone from the college, can fill the refernce in - but after phoning up UCAS later on in the day, the operator confirmed that I coul get my IT teacher (or any teacher from secondary school) to do it for me.

Now, naturally I'm confused - so for those who have applied or are applying this year - who has written your refernce for you?

Thanks
Howard

Don't worry, I get to read what they've written about me before I submit it. And besides, there really is no kind of admiration between me and the college lecturers... they're all arrogant compared to my comp teachers. In addition, one of them's a doctor, so hopefully that will make a good impression.

Only a few girls have called me Howie. And yes, it is annoying.

Howie sounds very familiar, is there a tv programme with a character name called that, possibly a kids show?

Don't do what I've done on job/college course application forms, where I gave teachers who I *knew* would give me bad references, but were the only references I could give. No wonder ODEON didn't phone me back...

Don't make enemies of your teachers, it'll come back and haunt you some day!

Oops, I never called you Howie...

You've made Chips' day! Another Howie on SR. Wehey!

I would follow UCAS's directions.

Yeah, I thought that. Thing is, none of my college lecturers know a jot about me compared to those in comprehehsive. But college says I can't ask them - but UCAS says I can. Someone's lying...
