"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*

The person statement doesnt matter a jot. As long as your grades are good enough you will be offered a place without question.

At Glasgow Uni I enter Faculty of Social Sciences

First Year I take three courses

Second Year I carry two on, drop the other and choose another just for the year.

Then I choose if I want to do Joint or Single Honours

Yep

No, like I said, I'd just put down for the one I wanted, and if I couldn't do it, I'd go someplace else

No way on earth I wouldn't do my first choice at a university

You got the wrong end there!

He means that he's put down 6 so that if he don't get one he gets another one!

It's like applying at 6 unis for 1 subject...

Hohoho, 6 degrees!

Six subjects at University? Are you insane? I'd just apply for the one I wanted to do, and that'd be it

I'm applying to Glasgow Uni only

Just putting down 6 subjects:

Politics
Philosphy
Psychology
Sociology
Anthropology
Not sure about 6th

Hmmm I hope I like them, I've read about them enough and don't want to do anything else really.

I play games...

That links in with Business Management!

I'm applying for Biological Sciences at: Oxford, York, Warwick, Bangor, Durham and Southampton. I love scuba diving, so that links in well, as does reading New Scientist, turtle-watching expeditions and helping at a local environmental centre.

Yeah but, no offence, but Birmingham not one of the great unis. I've been to a few Open Days. Personal statements count most of all at non-interview places.

3 As
2 Bs

I only need 2As and a B

Aaaahhhh
