"Bloody UCAS"

Trying to fill my personal statement for uni in...It's just a pain.

It's not my fault I haven't done anything with my life. Kinda puts it all into perspective writing your achievements down on paper though...

Strangely worrying.

Any advice?

*waits for "put 50 metres swimming badge down" post*

I've not sent it and I'm already in melon heed :P

I'm too damn good, that's why.

I need to apply for 4 course at Glasgow for Social Sciences lay-out

Which leave me 2, to pick from Strathclyde probably just in case.

Yeah, but in Scotland your mail is carried by donkey-riding simpletons. So your replies will take ages.

If you don't get into Glasgow you're funned, eh?

And York obviously love me. Is everything in the North like it is on the League? Please say no.

Offer already?

I don't get any back till about March

Got home from holiday.

Offer from York. No interview, just a straight ABB offer. Oh yes. I rule.

:D

Just give your teachers a proffessional personal statement then sneak in one that includes various threats.

That will work. And to be honest about choosing Uni, I am not just going for the best one (I will be lucky to get two Bs), in fact I don't have a damn clue what the hell I am doing. I hate this whole exam, job then death routine. Its getting real old.

My Personal Statement is going to be really bad if I do it all formal

Good if I put some in-fornal bits but apparently that's a nono even if they want you to show personality

This is crap

Oh, I'm in no way sure of an Oxford place. I'm sure of all my others. But that won't change the fact that Oxfords better.

Nyah nyah?

Maybe you ought to leave the "which is best" thing until you actually get offered a place eh ?

I'd agree with cookie - you want somewhere you'll be happy and get on with people - which doesn't necessarily mean going for whatever is ranked highest. Really does come down to what you're doing though, They don't een do my course (Human Geography) at a lot of universities anyway so wehn I applied that limited the selection somewhat !

Ah, but OVERALL it's the 3rd best.

*sits there looking smug*

Oh, you agreed with that part. Damn.

Oxford's better nyah nyah.

Actually Stryke, for the subject I'm doing (which the university basically founded), it's actually the No.1 social science institution in the country, and one of the best in Europe.

*sits there feeling smug*

*then realises how much work he's gonna have to do*

Damn.
