My step-sister used to be a researcher for the BBC, her most hi-profile programme was interviewing people who wanted to go on Can't Cook, Won't Cook. Not much help....

You're welcome :)

Dont we all? I just graduated from Uni, but have always wished there was a more simpler way of getting into the industry I want to be in.

Still have those two more grades to open tommorrow morning though FM. Those could change it all. I will phone LA later and see the extent of the damage. They said to me they wanted me. That has probably changed by now.

Just found the possibility of the University of Texas in the US. They offer a course in Radio - Television and Film. That will rule.

I am still upset. I wish I had people I knew in the industry so I avoid the crap of uni.

Thanks so much anyway FM. :)

You could do a BA at CCI in Harrow in Film and TV Production, they only require two Bs at A Level, but they're flexible.

You could try the National Film and Television School, they value experience over qualifications, and to apply you just have to be tested on aptitude, not what grade you got in school.

Leeds do a 2 year FdA in Film and TV Production, they only need GCSE English Grade C or equivalent.

That's just 3 options I found out of 393 possibles on the web. So just because LA won't take you doesn't mean you can't still pursue what you want to do.

They won't bend at all. I gave something a shot in life and I would have been very happy if I had made it. Fact is, I only know two of my grades outta the four, and I already know I won't be excepted.

B in Philsophy Advanced and D in Theatre Studies.

I was predicted that but the grades are on the wrong subject. I still have a Double Award Media grade to collect.

What was the entry requirement and what did you get?

Film and Television Production.

Have to phone them later. I might just lie and say I got what they needed and then forge the pieces of paper. Ow, I feel so upset.

What did you want to study at LA?

I can't believe it, I did better than I expected.
A for Chemistry (by a load of marks)
A for Maths (by one mark)
A for Physics (by 5 marks)
A for General Studies (by around 17 marks) - Couldn't believe that one
B for English (by 1 mark I missed out on an A nooooooooooo! I must appeal!)

Wahay, i'm officially the most intelligent person in my family. Ride on.

Im not happy for my sister that she didn't do as well as me, I would have loved for her to have done better.

However there is a smug grin on my face for some reason because I am more intelligent than her....

Sibling Rivalry, Absolute Bast**d isn't it???
