Choosing a university

[CHA!NGANG]

Jake man I'm having that problem. Want to do architecture, but all the ones I look at want AAA.. It's like.. I can get AAB cus thats what i'm predicted but AAA is gona be too hard.

[Immenseman]

Yeah I think I could get like ABB or maybe AAB at a push but AAA is too much of a risk.

[Hecktix]

I can get AAB hopefully Which well.. is more than good enough to get onto the courses I'm liking haha.

Im gonna be a Manc '09 fresher and I agree that you gotta balance the course with things like the area in which you to uni.

Oli pick where you want, its 3 years of your life and heckova sum of money. Come join me!!

I suppose a lot of universities have brought up what would've been ABB/AAB requirements to AAA because of the new A* grade. If you're only predicted a grade below what they're asking it's still worth applying because a lot of it depends on your personal statement etc. not just your grades.

[leah]

I'm not looking at any until I get my grades.

[Inseriousity.]

Aww the uni I was looking at is 3rd bottom for my course according to that guardian website LOL. I don't think I'll ever get the high grades for Oxbridge though.

If you like the course they offer though why should you let that stop you?

[Immenseman]

Yeah, at the end of the day you need to enjoy where you are and what you're doing.

[leah]

Jake and John, you're both super intelliegent so AAA would be do-able for you two
Most good universities ask for AAB for Law, so atm i'm looking at ones that accept C's just incase.
